Rehabilitation of the amputee patient

The book Rehabilitation of the Amputee – Experience of the Alcoitão Rehabilitation Medicine Center was written by members of the medical team of the Alcoitão Rehabilitation Medicine Center and is based on their experience and studies gathered from specialized literature. It focuses on the epidemiology and etiology of the different types and levels of amputation and on the various stages of a rehabilitation program for amputation, including the prosthetic process.

It is primarily aimed at young physiatrists or those in specialized training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, but also at professionals from other medical or surgical specialties and at anyone who wishes to deepen their knowledge in rehabilitation and prosthetics.
