Course Description:

This course is designed for Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy staff who work with patients with lower extremity limb loss. Because limb loss is treated in acute care, inpatient rehab, home care, and outpatient therapy, these techniques can be applied to patients across the continuum of care. Through lecture and a hands-on lab, participants will learn best-practice standards and techniques that will enhance quality of life, prepare the patient to be as independent as possible, and help them achieve their goals.
