Amputee Rehabilitation

Exercise for Amputees is a necessary part of Rehabilitation

Amputee Rehabilitation is an essential part of health and well being.

Without regular exercise weight fluctuates causing a poor fit of my prosthetic limb, which causes pain I don't love quite so much.

You become less mobile as a result and in no time at all may find you get tired doing the simplest tasks and start to get out of shape. Which means........It becomes harder to return to normal walking function when after having your limb refitted.
I have found through my own experiences that keeping fit is the key to maintaining high mobility levels and has allowed me to cope with higher than normal levels of pain.

On one of my other blogs I have published a literature review which shows the need for exercise and rehabilitation from a sports scientists point of view. I will put this on my web site for viewing also. http:www.hydraujoint.com

Now I would like to show you some of the benefits from an amputees point of view.

Before I do, I would like to say that any amputee or for that matter anybody who plans to take up extra exercise should consult their physician and discuss the type of exercise and frequencies with them.

Whats it cost to assist amputess?

Cost of war does it stop when the war stops?

All The amputees especially the ones that I became great friends with, that donated their own time and traveled to the hospital each day to use this machine for testing purposes.

My family who all put in considerable time to this project

and my friends in Australia who have encouraged this research and testing.

I hope all amputees will one day have access to some form of exercise devices that will assist the appropriate muscle groups and allow them to live a healthy life.
