A gait issue showed up during lab, and the right people got involved quickly. This is what direct PT and prosthetist collaboration can look like in amputee rehabilitation.

What equipment do you really need in your PT clinic for amputee rehab? Here is my take on the non-negotiable, the best bang for your buck, the overrated piece, and the dream setup.

If I could only keep three interventions from my amputee rehab toolbox, these would probably be the ones. Not because they’re flashy or advanced, but because they solve multiple problems at once and scale well across the rehab process.

I spent years thinking being an amputee would make me a better therapist. Over time, I started wondering if there may also be an advantage to not fully experiencing the same emotional weight as the patient.

When PT visits are limited, outcomes don’t have to suffer. Scarcity can actually improve patient engagement and clinical decision making.

The first few sessions with a prosthesis often shape everything that follows. Early habits matter more than most clinicians realize.

Expectations shape outcomes in amputee rehabilitation more than most clinicians realize. The wrong ones, whether too high or too low, can derail recovery before you ever figure out what went wrong.
