Prosthetics & Rehabilitation

Prosthetics and rehabilitation help patients walk again after a diabetic foot amputation. At EDFC, prosthetic fitting and a structured rehabilitation programme are coordinated with prosthetists and physiotherapists so that, after limb loss, patients regain mobility, balance and independence as safely as possible.

What do prosthetics and rehabilitation involve?

After an amputation, rehabilitation rebuilds strength, balance and walking ability, while a prosthesis replaces the lost part of the foot or limb. The process includes stump care and shaping, fitting and adjusting the prosthesis, gait training, and exercises to protect the remaining limb — because the other foot is now at higher risk and must be guarded carefully.

The aim is not only to walk again, but to prevent a second amputation through ongoing foot protection.

Who needs prosthetics and rehabilitation?

• Patients after a partial-foot or lower-limb amputation
• Anyone needing gait or balance retraining after foot surgery
• Patients regaining strength and mobility after long wound treatment
• Those needing protection of the remaining limb

Rehabilitation follows foot surgery and works hand-in-hand with protective footwear for the remaining foot.

Why choose EDFC for prosthetics and rehabilitation in India?

As India's first dedicated foot-care chain, EDFC coordinates prosthetic fitting and physiotherapy with experienced prosthetists and rehabilitation specialists, while Dr. Ashutosh Shah's team continues to protect the remaining limb from new wounds. This joined-up approach — surgery, rehabilitation and prevention together — is available in Surat and Vizianagaram.
