TTSH Amputee Rehabilitation
Overview

Amputee Rehabilitation Programme offers a comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation for patients who have experienced limb loss.

Other than recovering from an amputation, we offer continued therapy to promote independence by helping you get accustomed to your prosthesis and return to daily functions after an amputation. We have both an inpatient Amputee Service, and an outpatient Amputee Clinic at the Foot Care and Limb Design Centre.

We offer the following services:

  • Assessment for suitability of prosthesis by a rehabilitation physician
  • Consultation for prognostication and predict level of function including pre-op phase
  • Wound management
  • Pain control
  • Care of residual limb (assisted by podiatrist from Foot Care and Limb Design Centre)
  • Psychological counselling and education
  • Reconditioning and mobility training
  • Teaching the patient to perform activities of daily living in a safe manner
  • Fitting of prosthesis (assisted by Prosthetist & Orthotist from Foot Care and Limb Design Centre)
  • Gait training with prosthesis
  • Training of upper limb prosthesis for activity daily living
  • Planning for supported discharge back home and continuation of rehabilitation
  • Rehabilitation towards returning to work for appropriate patients​

We believe no individuals should walk the journey alone. Through our Amputee Support Group, we offer a safe and supportive space for individuals to connect, share their experiences and find strength together as they navigate life after amputation.
