My Rehab Team
The more information you have about your surgery and recovery, the more control you have during the entire process. Remember, you and your family are the center of the team. We need your input as our team creates the best plan of care for you following surgery.
Members of your Rehab team may include:
A specially trained doctor is in charge of your rehab treatment and progress while you are a patient in the Rehab Hospital and coordinates the overall team treatment program, while also consulting other specialists as needed.
The wound care nurse will work with you if you have problems with the way your incision is healing or if you are having other issues with your skin.
The physical therapist works with you to improve your strength, endurance, balance, coordination and mobility. The PT helps you develop skills to move safely in a wheelchair or with other aides, like walkers, crutches, or canes.
The occupational therapist will focus on increasing your independence. This includes tasks like dressing and bathing, transfers, home management skills, strengthening, endurance, and splinting for positioning.
A prosthetist is a person who prescribes, measure, manufacture, fit and fixes a prosthesis. They work closely with your physical and occupational therapists to ensure proper fit, and use of a prosthesis.
The clinical case manager is the team leader and a primary contact for you and your family with the treatment team. The clinical case manager helps you and your family with financial, emotional and social concerns that may come with limb loss.
There are other professionals who may be added to your team depending on your needs. They include:
A dietician will help optimize your diet for wound healing.
If you have diabetes, a diabetes educator will work with you to optimize your self-care.
Peer supporters are individuals who have had an amputation and can answer your questions about daily living as well as provide tips that they have learned through experience.
