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.
