Efforts toward standardization of prosthetic leg rehabilitation during the recovery period

Abstract

Convalescent hospital prosthetic rehabilitation plays an important role in determining whether prosthetic walking becomes practical in the future life of amputees. While specialty hospitals have a high success rate, the lack of knowledge and experience of medical personnel in the field of prosthetic limbs (amputation) is an issue. Clinical pathways are used to eliminate variability in medical care, but lower limb amputations are rare and standardization has not progressed. In this paper, we visualize the problems of prosthetic leg rehabilitation, and describe the overall flow of prosthetic leg creation, and rehabilitation before and after prosthetic leg installation.
