1 2224 West Sunset Springfield, MO 417- 730-2000 Lower Extremity Amputee/Prosthetic Rehabilitation: A Team Approach Fred Lerche PT, C.Ped Administrative Director OP Rehab. And Prosthetics and Orthotics

2 CoxHealth Center for Prosthetics And Orthotics Our Clinical Model ???

3 Demographics of Amputees in the United States In 2009, there were approximately 1.9 million persons with amputations in the United States.

4 Each Year an additional 80,000 lose a limb as a result of an accident or disease 2009 study

5 2010 Study 19,000,000 people living with DM 19,000,000 people living with DM 4% will develop an ulcer 4% will develop an ulcer 6% will have an amputation 6% will have an amputation 45% mortality rate with an ulcer or amputation at 1 year 45% mortality rate with an ulcer or amputation at 1 year

6 2010 507 amputations done each day WOW 85% are preventable

7 Sound Limb Care  Sound Limb Inspection  Shoe recommendations  Orthotics  Transfer Techniques to decrease Shear  Adaptive Equipment-sliding board????

11 REASON FOR AMPUTATION Disease 70% Trauma 22% Congenital 4% Tumor 4% Tumor 4%

12 STATISTICS Gender Gender Male 75% Male 75% Female 25% Female 25%

13 STATISTICS Hours of Prosthetic Use per day Hours of Prosthetic Use per day >12 hrs 60% >12 hrs 60% 1-12 hrs 34% 1-12 hrs 34% no use at all 6% no use at all 6%

14 Pre-surgical Visit Provide time for introductions Provide time for introductions Discuss level of activity over the past two years Discuss level of activity over the past two years Support medical team’s decisions Support medical team’s decisions Explore patient expectations after amputation Explore patient expectations after amputation Explain the sequence of events from surgery through rehabilitation Explain the sequence of events from surgery through rehabilitation Reinforce realistic expectations Reinforce realistic expectations Answer any questions of the patient and family Answer any questions of the patient and family

15 Post Operative Care

16 Goals for the Post-Op (Acute) Treatment Phase Reduce edema and promote healing Reduce edema and promote healing Prevent Loss of Motion – a MUST Prevent Loss of Motion – a MUST Increase upper and lower extremity strength- think function Increase upper and lower extremity strength- think function Promote mobility and self care Promote mobility and self care Promote sound limb care- a Must Promote sound limb care- a Must Assist with limb loss adjustment Assist with limb loss adjustment PRIMARY GOAL -- HEALING WITHOUT COMPLICATIONS

17 Goals for the Post-Op (Acute) Treatment Phase Residual limb dressing care Residual limb dressing care Positioning Positioning Transfer skills Transfer skills Exercise program – keep it simple for home – the Essential Basic Four Exercise program – keep it simple for home – the Essential Basic Four 1. Supine A/AROM alternating hip and knee flexion 2. Supine A/AROM hip abd and add 3. Side lying AROM hip flexion and extension 4. Sitting AROM knee flexion and extension Early ambulation- Very Controlled Early ambulation- Very Controlled

18 PROSTHETIC CRITERIA 1. I ndependent with Bed mobility 2. I ndependent with transfers 3. I ndependent with Ambulation Douglas G. Smith MD

19 INTERDISCIPLINARY REHABILATION TEAM The Key to Successful Outcomes The Key to Successful Outcomes Fred Lerche PT, C.Ped

20 AMPUTEE REHABILITATION A TEAM APPROACH Team Members Physician Physical Therapist Occupational Therapist Orthotist/Prosthetist Psychologist Social worker/Case management Nutritionist Support Volunteers Family Nursing Patient

21 POSSIBLE REASONS FOR FAILURE OF AN AMPUTEE PROGRAM  Too little early education pre-and post prosthesis. Education is important both to patient and family.  Amputee has an overly optimistic attitude.  Prosthetist and physical therapist must be honest with patient.  Let patient know artificial limb will never be as good as anatomical limb.  Involving patient, family and rehab as much as possible is a great asset. Robert S. Gailey PhD, PT

22 Amputation is the first step in the Rehabilitation process “Too often amputation is performed without thought for biomechanical principles or preservation of muscle function.” Frank Gottschalk MD “Too often amputation is performed without thought for biomechanical principles or preservation of muscle function.” Frank Gottschalk MD
