Video Runtime: 60 Minutes, Learning Assessments: 20 Minutes
Following amputation surgery and during the acute care stage, evaluation findings are critical for developing a rehabilitation plan that helps the patient achieve their goals. However, this can be challenging, and limb loss often isn't well addressed in educational programs.
Join us for our webinar and learn how to incorporate evaluation findings into rehabilitative care plans for patients with lower limb loss. We'll discuss important considerations such as common postoperative complications and contraindications, vital signs that can affect your therapy session, residual limb compression and protection techniques, and more. You'll also learn how to progress treatment plans based on evaluation findings and available documentation.

In recent years, the incidence of type 2 diabetes has risen significantly. This has also led to a rise in diabetes complications, as well, which can include lower limb amputation. Unfortunately, many practitioners simply don't have the experience or expertise needed to manage the implications and impact limb loss has on patients.
Join us for this interactive webinar and increase your awareness and understanding about key issues and needs affecting patients with diabetes who have experienced limb loss and wear a prosthetic, including characteristics of diabetes that affect the outcome of prosthetics, unique factors in prosthetic design for patients with diabetes, and critical physical findings to be considered before designing an exercise plan. We'll also discuss how to create a tailored therapeutic exercise and education program for your patients to help them better manage their diabetes and become more proficient in using the prosthetic limbs for physical activity.

An interdisciplinary approach to amputee care can increase the success of your treatment goals and allow the patient to reach their full functional potential. Physical therapists, occupational therapists, and prosthetists all have unique and important roles in the rehabilitation process, which overlap but are not independent of each other. When understood and utilized appropriately, these professional responsibilities should complement one another and improve patient care. Understanding your role and scope of practice as well as those of your healthcare team colleagues will help improve functional outcomes and increase the effectiveness of your treatment sessions.

Treating a patient with limb loss has the potential to be intimidating to a physical therapist with no background of that patient population. With an in depth understanding of patients with amputations, the physical therapist will be better prepared to provide appropriate rehabilitation. The following lecture and supplemental materials will offer an evidence based knowledge foundation for treating patients with limb loss. Following the lecture, the physical therapist will be able to understand an appropriate approach for rehabilitation of patients with amputations.

Proper documentation is necessary to create a plan of care for any patient population, as well as to justify treatment. Patients with amputations are a specific subpopulation with their own characteristics that require the appropriate attention to assist with treatment and patient education. The following presentation will address the components of an inclusive evaluation for patients with amputations. By focusing on subjective and objective intakes, as well as appropriate functional outcomes measures, the physical therapist will be better prepared to assist with goal setting and patient expectations. A thorough evaluation will provide the foundation for a successful plan of care.

This course will provide the basics of gait training with a prosthesis. In order for a physical therapist to educate a patient to ambulate with a prosthesis, they must first understand typical gait. Incorporating the basics of typical gait with prosthetic ambulation, regardless of the prosthetic technology, will result in a functional movement pattern for the patient. Understanding the key components of gait training with a prosthesis will provide the clinician with the appropriate skills to successfully treat any patient with an amputation.
