Health & Medical Issues

When a person becomes an amputee the initial rehabilitation period involves issues like stump bandaging, exercises, the temporary (or preparatory) prosthetic fitting, and physiotherapy and occupational therapy. There are, of course, the emotional issues to deal with too.

There are also many health-related issues, such as stump and socket hygiene and weight control, that become an ongoing part of an amputee's life.
