Post-Amputation Rehabilitation

Most patients are medically cleared to travel 4–8 weeks after amputation surgery, once the wound has healed and the residual limb has stabilized. Traveling too early increases the risk of wound breakdown and infection. We recommend sharing your surgical notes and recent wound photographs with our medical team so they can advise the optimal travel window for your specific case. The prosthetic fitting process typically begins when the residual limb volume has stabilized, which usually occurs 6–12 weeks post-surgery. Our partner rehabilitation centers can provide early-phase residual limb shaping and physiotherapy even before definitive prosthetic fitting begins.
