Fitness for Amputees app: Daily training made easy
Exercises for prosthesis users
The fitness app includes a number of easy-to-follow exercises developed by experienced Ottobock physiotherapists for leg and arm amputees. Over 40,000 amputees around the world use the app for targeted physical fitness and increasing their strength. As a result, the Fitness for Amputees app is now available in 11 different languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Finnish, Swedish, Chinese, Italian and Russian.
Leg amputees can train in three different modules. The exercises in the “Stretch & Relax” module improve flexibility, help relax muscles and promote faster recovery after training. Combined with the “Strength & Endurance” and “Coordination & Balance” modules, the app offers a holistic training programme.
The exercises for arm prosthesis users are grouped in the “Shoulder” and “Torso” modules. The aim of the exercises is to strengthen muscles, prevent malpositions and improve balance to prevent pain and achieve a high level of safety when using the prosthesis.

To get the most out of the programme, Ottobock physiotherapists recommend training two to three times each week for 5 to 11 minutes, switching regularly between the modules.
