| Abstract: | Abstract - Amputation of the limbs is an extreme, irreversible operation generally resorted to when other treatments have failed. Following the healing of the incision wounds, the patient is fitted with a prosthetic limb. However, adjusting to normal life with a prosthesis requires extensive care through physiotherapy and rehabilitation, which aims for the restoration of physical, mental, social, and vocational fullness. The main aim of this study was to manage lower limb amputations by physiotherapy and rehabilitation. An experimental study was carried out over five months, focusing on the physiotherapy management and rehabilitation of male patients with transtibial and transfemoral amputations. The rehabilitation program spanned the preoperative, pre prosthetic, and prosthetic stages, involving residual limb conditioning, stump strengthening, balance training, and gait training progressing to activities like stair climbing. The results of the five case studies demonstrated a successful improvement in functional levels. For instance, two patients with K level 2 functional status improved to K level 4 with comprehensive gait training, and a pre-existing prosthetic user improved to functional level 4, able to overcome obstacles independently. It is concluded that rehabilitation following amputation is the responsibility of a multidisciplinary team, with the physiotherapist playing a crucial role from the preoperative phase through prosthetic training, with the ultimate goal of achieving a comfortable and independent life for the patient. |
