Common problems after amputation are:

• Contracture risk
• Residual limb (stump) healing and shaping
• Sound (other) limb wound management
• Reducing risk of injury to the sound limb
• Claudication (reduced blood flow) pain
• Phantom limb pain
• Safety
• Reduced mobility
• Inadequate equipment
• Activity restrictions and withdrawal from community and social pursuits
• Body image

Our Mobile NDIS Service

APR is predominantly a mobile service, so our Physiotherapists have the flexibility to be able to come to you. We work in our clients’ own environments to make it easy to rehabilitate after amputation.

We also have the ability to see you in other community settings, such as local hydrotherapy pools, local gyms, as well as your local prosthetic clinic.
