The physical therapist establishes individualized treatment plans for each patient and coordinates with the prosthetists throughout the rehabilitation process. Follow-up care is available as needed through outpatient physical therapy and tailored home exercise programs to promote success in meeting personal goals and improving quality of life.

Community support is also available through the amputee support group, where amputees have the opportunity to interact with their peers from the community.
