The primary initial effort in every case of disease or injury should be to save the extremity. Amputation is seldom necessary following bone and joint injuries. More often, it is an admission of defeat in the medical management of the patient with vascular disease. In such cases, it should be performed only as a last resort. The longest possible lever arm, consistent with primary healing, should be maintained for maximum proprioceptive and kinesthetic feedback and thus rehabilitation potential.

Covering both upper and lower extremity prosthetics, this book provides the information clinicians need to manage a range of prosthetic patients, and their disorders. The authors cover practical solutions to everyday problems that clinicians encounter, from early prosthetic management to issues facing the more advanced prosthetic user. The text is broken down into four sections encompassing the range of subjects that confront practitioners, including Early Management; Rehabilitation of Patients with Lower Limb Amputation; Rehabilitation of Patients with Upper Limb Amputations; and Beyond the Basics, which includes special considerations for children and futuristic concepts.

Written by physiatrists, prosthetics, and therapists at the University of Michigan, this clinically oriented text is designed for busy practitioners managing patients with limb loss who are candidates for, or are undergoing, prosthetic restoration. The goal is to provide an illustrated, state-of-the-art overview of the science and practice of post-amputation care, prosthetic restoration, and functional rehabilitation that maximizes patient independence and quality of life. The text addresses practical questions and problems, such as how to design a care plan or select the best prosthesis for a patient to align with expected activity level or demographic, and is intended as a ready reference to support clinical decision making. The book covers both lower and upper extremity restoration and rehabilitation. Beginning with basic anatomy and kinesiology and a brief recap of surgical principles and post-operative care for amputees, chapters in each section discuss biomechanics, clinical assessment, prosthetic options, writing a complete and detailed prescription for the prosthesis, restoration and management of specific problems by region, and rehabilitation programs and strategies. Common medical issues such as phantom limb sensation and pain, skin problems, and psychological considerations are discussed as well. Prosthetic restoration for special populations and prostheses for sports and recreation are treated in a dedicated section at the end of the book. Chapters will be written in outline format and feature lots of diagrams, photos, and other illustrations for ease of use. Each chapter will conclude with 1-2 case scenarios and 5-8 multiple choice questions with answers and explanations for self-study purposes.

Each year in the United States, an estimated 40,000 persons lose a limb. Of these amputees, approximately 30% lose a hand or an arm. This loss is most frequently related to trauma occurring in the healthy young adult male and is often work related. Approximately 3% of all amputees are born with congenital limb absence. In children, the ratio of congenital to acquired amputation is 2: 1, and the ratio of upper-limb to lower-limb amputees is 1. 2: 1. Therefore, since relatively few amputations result in upper-limb loss, only a small number of health practitioners, even those specializing in amputee rehabilitation, have the opportunity to provide services for a significant number of arm amputees. As a result, clinicians need to share their experiences so that the full range of options for optimum care and rehabilitation of the patient population may be considered. To meet this challenge for wider communication of clinical experience, a group of upper-limb amputee specialists met in Houston, Texas, in 1981 to serve as the core faculty for a course entitled "Contemporary Issues in Upper Extremity Amputation and Prosthetic Function. " This program provided the opportunity for surgeons, physiatrists, engineers, prosthetists, social workers, psychologists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists from the United States and Canada to discuss their extensive experience in working with upper extremity amputees. A second conference continuing the discussion of upper limb amputee rehabilitation was held one year later.

Limb loss can occur due to trauma, infection, diabetes, vascular disease, cancer, and other diseases. Regardless of the cause, it often has a profound impact on a person's life. Many amputees experience feelings of loss and grief, frustration in learning to walk with an artificial limb, and difficulty adjusting to a new and challenging lifestyle. This book provides the practical knowledge needed to cope with the many changes caused by lower limb amputation. In clear, accessible language, it covers the medical, physical, and psychosocial issues and answers crucial questions such as: How do I cope emotionally with the loss of a limb? What steps can I take to prevent additional amputations? How do I treat and care for my post-surgery wound? What are the best prostheses for my particular needs? Can I play sports and exercise with a prosthesis? And much more! This unique resource aims to educate those with lower limb amputation so that they can better care for themselves and maximize their independence. The practical advice, tips, and extensive references within its pages will help individuals meet the challenges of leading full and fruitful lives.
