Limb loss and impairment

Limb loss and impairment

Losing a limb or living with a limb impairment can be a life-changing experience. Whether it’s due to an accident, diabetes, infection, cancer, or a birth condition, it affects not just the body—but also the mind, emotions, and everyday life. At our center, we offer complete care and support for people with limb loss or limb impairment to help them regain independence, mobility, and confidence.


What is Limb Loss and Limb Impairment?

  • Limb loss means the partial or complete removal of an arm, leg, hand, or foot. It can happen due to surgery (called amputation), injury, or certain health conditions like poor blood circulation or severe infection.

  • Limb impairment refers to conditions that affect how a limb functions. This may include weakness, deformity, paralysis, or reduced range of motion, without complete loss of the limb.

Both conditions can be physically and emotionally challenging—but with the right medical care and rehabilitation, people can lead fulfilling lives.


Common Causes of Limb Loss or Impairment

  • Trauma or accidents (road accidents, machinery injuries)

  • Diabetes-related complications (poor circulation or infected wounds)

  • Cancer or tumors in the bones or soft tissue

  • Birth defects (congenital limb differences)

  • Neurological disorders (stroke, cerebral palsy, or polio)


Our Approach to Care

We follow a patient-centered approach where every person’s needs are different, and every treatment plan is unique. Our care includes:

1. Pre-Amputation Counseling

If amputation is required, we guide patients and their families through the process, answering questions, reducing fear, and preparing them emotionally and mentally.

2. Surgical Care and Healing

After an amputation, we focus on proper wound care, pain management, and preventing complications like infection or phantom limb pain (a feeling that the removed limb is still there).

3. Rehabilitation and Therapy

Rehabilitation is the most important step in recovery. We provide:

  • Physical therapy: To strengthen the body, improve balance, and train for mobility with or without assistive devices.

  • Occupational therapy: To help with daily activities like dressing, cooking, or using the bathroom independently.

  • Prosthetic training: If a prosthetic limb is used, we teach patients how to wear, use, and care for it.

4. Emotional and Psychological Support

Adjusting to life after limb loss or disability can be overwhelming. Our counselors and support groups help patients cope with grief, anxiety, or depression and build confidence for the future.


Assistive Devices and Technology

We work closely with prosthetic experts to provide modern artificial limbs that are lightweight, functional, and customized for each person. For those with limb impairments, we offer braces, walkers, crutches, and other assistive tools to improve mobility and independence.
