OIICAGO 5, ILL CINCIPIATI 2, OHIO The Clinical Approach to Prosthesis The Clinical Approach at the Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center, Fisherville, Virginia, features the Clinical Team-the Orthopedist, the Prosthetic Technician (ci HAN- GER Certified Prosthetist), the Physical Therapist, and the Occupational Therapist (for arm amputees only). All amputee patients are examined by this Clinical Team with the complete medical history and other records at hand. During the examination the patient is analyzed as an individual case with his particular advantages and limitations evaluated in relation to the possible courses of treatment. For example, whether a particular stump or joint condition can be corrected with therapy, or with special prosthesis fitting and construction; if not, is further surgery desirable. Then a AVAILABLE AT AUTHORIZED course of rehabilitation is prescribed by the Orthopedist, including the Physical (and Occupational for arm amputees) Therapy necessary, the type of Prosthesis to be worn, and other special treatment or training required. Immediately the patient’s treatment by the Center begins according to the Prescription. The patient receives pre-prosthetic therapy in which the stump is conditioned to provide the most efficient use of the Prosthesis. He is supervised and treated in baths, heat, exercise, etc., by therapists and nurses specially-trained for this work. When the patient actually begins to wear the prosthesis, the Clinical Team again works closely together in the rehabilitation program. The Prosthesis itself has been fabricated according to the measurements and specifications taken by the Prosthetist member of the Clinical Team. Careful attention is now given to fitting adjustments, continued therapy, and training exercises, such as walking, sifting, steps, etc. Unusual problems are cause for a complete review and possible change of prescription.
