The Basics
- Recovering from a broken bone, traumatic accident or amputation requires management of activity level and pain while addressing changes in balance and mobility.
- Amputation results in alteration of the musculoskeletal system and changes in the symmetry of remaining limbs. Compensation for the amputation results in changes to the gait which may lead to short and long term complications.
