🦿 Rehabilitation after amputation: life goes on — and we’re with you every step of the way.
Regaining balance, relearning how to move forward
Losing a limb is a profound physical, psychological, and functional upheaval. Whether the amputation involves an upper or lower limb, the individual must go through a multi-step rehabilitation process: stump care, prosthesis training, mobility recovery, and reintegration into daily life.
🔍 Key Steps in Post-Amputation Rehabilitation
- Stump care (hygiene, bandaging, prevention of phantom pain)
- Learning to wear and use a prosthesis
- Gait training or upper limb use
- Postural rebalancing and compensation prevention
- Muscle strengthening and functional recovery
This process involves a multidisciplinary team: physiatrist, prosthetist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, and kinesiologist.
🏃 Move to rebuild
After an amputation, adapted physical activity becomes a fundamental pillar of rehabilitation. It goes beyond simply regaining strength or learning to walk—it helps rebuild confidence, restore autonomy, and prevent long-term complications.
Whether your goal is to return to walking, resume sports, or simply move more comfortably in everyday life, our team supports you every step of the way, with tailored tools in a safe and motivating environment.
🎯 Our goal: to make every movement possible, purposeful, and empowering.
🏥 Personalized care at Neuro-Concept
At Neuro-Concept, we provide comprehensive rehabilitation combining conventional therapy and advanced technologies to maximize functional recovery.
Our cutting-edge equipment includes:
🔹 Kinésim® – A robotic platform to improve balance, posture, and stability
🔹 Jintronix® and Reflexcare – Interactive therapeutic games to motivate and engage patients
🔹 Xcite® and MindMove® – Functional electrical stimulators to support muscle activation and motor recovery
At Neuro-Concept, we integrate Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) into our post-amputation rehab protocols, as it provides real, measurable benefits for restoring mobility and confidence.
🔹 Preserve muscle strength: FES helps prevent muscle atrophy in the residual limb, keeping the muscles active and facilitating prosthesis adaptation.
🔹 Improve stump control and prosthesis use: Stronger residual muscles lead to better stump stability, improving gait quality and prosthetic comfort.
🔹 Reduce spasticity and certain types of pain: FES can help regulate neural activity, reducing phantom limb pain, spasticity, and muscle tightness.
🔹 Reprogram gait: When integrated into walking training, FES activates muscles at the appropriate phases of gait, promoting a smoother, more symmetrical walking pattern and reducing inefficient compensations.
🔹 Boost circulation and healing: By engaging deep muscles, FES also helps improve blood flow, reduce swelling, and support post-surgical recovery.
⚙️ Gait Reprogramming and Compensation Prevention
Scientific literature shows that:
- 40% of the gait cycle is spent in the swing phase (leg in motion)
- 60% in the stance phase (foot on the ground)
After an amputation, this natural rhythm is disrupted. The person often develops harmful compensations such as limping, pelvic misalignment, or excessive upper body strain. These lead to:
- Joint pain
- Increased energy expenditure
- Greater fatigue
- Long-term injury risk
🎯 Our Goal: Walk better, more efficiently, and without pain
A gait training program supervised by a movement specialist (physiotherapist, kinesiologist, or physical rehab therapist) will help you:
✅ Restore a symmetrical gait
✅ Reduce joint stress
✅ Save energy
✅ Regain independence
✅ Lower fall risk
