Abstract

At Queen Mary’s Hospital in Roehampton, we take a holistic approach to the rehabilitation of multiple limb amputees. This poster shows the different aspects that should be considered during rehabilitation. The poster explores different elements of the rehabilitation process; including approach to rehab planning, early rehab, timescales for progression, therapy progression, prosthetic considerations, transitioning to home and follow up. MDT involvement is key in the process and crucial aspects for each profession are considered.
