Overview

The path to optimal rehabilitation outcomes

After lower limb amputation, restoring a patient’s mobility is a complex process that should always be guided by a clinical specialist like you. At Ottobock, we’re committed to bringing you the decision-making insights and product options you need at every step.

This site was designed to help you deepen your technical expertise, personalize post-amputation therapy, and pursue the best possible outcomes for each of your patients. We hope it’s a valuable resource for you.

Laying a foundation for future mobility

After amputation, proper rehabilitation is critical to restoring a patient’s freedom of movement and quality for life. Multiple familiar factors can play a big role in this stage of their recovery:

  • The quality of your patient’s postoperative therapy

  • The level of scientific, clinical, and real-world evidence available to guide your clinical decisions

  • Availability of appropriate training products to support your patient’s learning curve

But ultimately, one critical combination will determine most patients’ outcomes: your therapeutic skill in guiding their rehabilitation and the prosthesis selected for the patient. Let’s take a closer look at the process you’ll guide your patients through on their path back to mobility.
