Following a limb amputation, the rehabilitation process begins. In most cases, inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation will take up to six months and beyond. The rehabilitation phases are broken down into: Immediate Post-Op, Pre-Prosthetic, Prosthetic Fitting and Home phase rehabilitation. Ideally you have chosen a specialist clinic that has specialized in the rehabilitation of amputees start to completion.
During rehabilitation at Cedarcrest Prosthetic Centre, you are cared for by a team of Orthopeadic Doctors, Prosthetists, Social Workers, Physiotherapists and others. The therapy programme is adapted to your state of health and strength reserves. Usually you will have a daily physiotherapy session with gait training, and treatment sessions for therapy. These routines are distributed over the day with regular break periods. The treatment will take between 1 and 2 hours, with half-hour therapy sessions as a rule. The goal is for you to return to your accustomed everyday life as quickly as possible.
You need to understand that your active participation has a crucial effect on the rehabilitation results. This may also involve questioning and modifying your previous lifestyle. Your attending doctor or a psychologist can support you here as well. You also should not hesitate to request counseling from a psychologist or family counselor.

The doctors and nurses and aides were excellent. The food was excellent. I am feeling fine and very lucky, back to my old self again and it feels great. Thank God for clinics such as yours. I appreciate all your kindness and good care you gave me is beyond my expectations they wonder for me.
Prior to my stay at Cedarcrest Hospital, Lagos, I was aware of their stellar reputation and multiple friends commented about how lucky I was to have my surgery scheduled there. As a result my expectations were high and yet the kind and professional staff with excellent patient care surpassed them.
Great co workers, really good environment and excellent patient care. They are continuously innovating themselves which is why they remain a premier dental clinic. This was the cleanest medical establishment I've ever been in. They just loved the welcoming and warm atmosphere in there.
