In Cedarcrest Prosthetic Centre our experienced Physiotherapists spend hours with the patient with limb loss during the rehabilitation phase. The role of the physiotherapists include; explaining and demonstrating to the amputee the replacements available, teaching crutch gaits, emphasizing good posture, teaching proper bed positioning to prevent contractures, teaching graduated exercises to prevent contractures and loss of strength, Physio sessions as part of a treatment package with a new prosthesis and many more.
In the post-prosthetic period the therapist is responsible for the checkout of the prosthesis and the training in its use. The time involved is determined by many factors, such as type of amputation, level of amputation, multiplicity of amputations, age of the amputee, motivation of the amputee, plus economic and social factors.

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.
