Amputee Walking School Services

Our mission is to help our patients and families reach lifeskill goals by providing a community service program that continues training after the rehabilitation process has ended.

Our amputee walking school is in its 37th year with programs and classes are being held throughout the country in over 14 states and 26 cities.

Our Amputee Walking Schools are hosted as 2 hour programs or part of a full day continuing education course.

In traditional education programs, therapists receive little training on the biomechanics of prosthetic devices and how to teach the amputee how to run, jump, bend and maneuver with the device. By providing such training, the therapist can introduce these principles to the amputee patient early in the rehabilitation process and thus orient him/her toward an active, productive lifestyle. This clinic will greatly enhance the basic training physical therapists receive in school. The level of training and advanced exercises are appropriate for use with patients of all ages to improve ambulating.

Through in-service programss at health care institutions, we deliver our goals and objectives in a one hour program.

We are also nationally credentialed for case manager ceu credits as well.

Looking to inform the whole team is an approach we have encouraged over the last 37 years. By providing the longest possible continuum of care to best take care of our loved ones and family members, we are helping amputees reach life skill goals.
