Rehabilitation after prosthetics: Your path to recovery

Rehabilitation of not only civilian patients, but also the rehabilitation of the military is now more important than ever. Prosthetics for the military are provided at the expense of the state, thanks to government programmes.

Rehabilitation and prosthetics for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is a priority for us.

Our company has its own modern rehabilitation centre, with inpatient wards equipped with everything you need, namely: special beds with a lift function, TV, refrigerator, household appliances, kettle, WiFi connection, warm water, heating and uninterrupted light and air conditioning. There are also rooms for children, with bright design and toys. We have a recreation room where you can spend time with interest, and a dining room where we feed patients with dishes from the menu developed by our specialists. We try to create the most comfortable conditions possible to return patients to normal life as soon as possible!

The rehabilitation programme is developed after diagnosis, taking into account the age and complexity of the prosthesis, individual characteristics of the body, as well as age and weight. With our help, patients return to their normal life, sports and activities without feeling any restrictions.

What is included in the rehabilitation programme after amputation?

Prosthetics can prevent injuries and increase a patient's mobility, but only if they are properly rehabilitated. It allows you to:

minimise the likelihood of postoperative complications;
normalise blood supply to the affected area;
restore muscle tone;
relieve pain syndrome;
accelerate the regeneration of damaged tissues;
to develop the limb to gain independence in everyday life, to be able to work and play sports;

Duration and stages of recovery in Dnipro.protez
