Interprofessional Care

At Ascent Rehabilitation, we understand the crucial role of an interprofessional team in providing comprehensive care for individuals post-amputation. Collaborating closely with prosthetists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other healthcare professionals ensures that our patients receive holistic and coordinated treatment tailored to their unique needs. Having physical therapists and prosthetists in the same building allows for seamless communication and collaboration, facilitating optimal prosthetic fit, function, and rehabilitation. Research by Hatfield et al. (2019) emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in improving functional outcomes and quality of life for individuals with limb loss. With our integrated approach to care, we strive to maximize independence, mobility, and overall well-being for our patients.

• Seamless Communication: Close proximity between physical therapists and prosthetists enables timely communication and collaboration, ensuring optimal prosthetic fit and rehabilitation progress.

• Holistic Treatment: An interprofessional team provides holistic care addressing physical, psychological, and functional aspects of rehabilitation, promoting comprehensive recovery and adaptation to limb loss.

• Tailored Rehabilitation Plans: Collaborative decision-making allows for the development of individualized rehabilitation plans that address specific goals and challenges, optimizing outcomes and patient satisfaction.

• Continuous Monitoring and Support: Ongoing communication between team members facilitates continuous monitoring of progress and adjustment of treatment strategies as needed, promoting long-term success and independence.
