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.

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

Perfect technique matters, but so does forward progress. Learn how to balance movement quality and momentum during prosthetic gait training.

Trying to fix everything at once during gait training can actually make things worse. Here’s why focusing on one cue at a time leads to better outcomes.

Parallel bars can make patients with amputations appear more ready than they actually are, masking gaps that matter in real-world amputee rehab.

A practical look at how PTs can tell whether a gait deviation comes from the prosthesis, the patient, or both.

Amputee rehab is still inconsistently taught in physical therapy. Here’s why the field keeps getting overlooked and what clinicians can do to raise the standard of care.
