Department: Prosthetics & Orthotics (P&O) / Physical Rehabilitation

Reports To: Management

Employment Type: Full-time

Role Overview

The Prosthetic Physiotherapist leads the clinical rehabilitation pathway for individuals with lower and upper limb limb loss or limb difference. Embedded within a multi-disciplinary prosthetic clinical setup, this role bridges the gap between surgical/post-operative recovery, prosthetic prescription, alignment optimization, and advanced functional independence. You will collaborate closely with Certified Prosthetists, physiatrists, occupational therapists, and technicians to deliver patient-centered prosthetic rehabilitation from pre-prosthetic conditioning to community reintegration.

Key Responsibilities1. Clinical Assessment & Pre-Prosthetic Preparation

• Perform detailed physical assessments, including residual limb shape, volume, skin integrity, scarring, surgical healing, joint range of motion (ROM), and muscle strength.
• Implement limb maturation protocols: rigid/elastic residual limb compression, desensitization techniques, and soft-tissue mobilization.
• Design early-stage conditioning programs focused on pelvic/trunk stability, hip/knee extensor strength, cardiovascular endurance, and contracture prevention.
• Assess patient readiness, motor motor control, cognitive capability, and vocational goals to contribute to multi-disciplinary prosthetic prescription decisions (e.g., K-level classification).

2. Prosthetic Gait & Functional Training

• Lead initial weight-bearing and prosthetic habituation protocols using parallel bars, body-weight support systems, and progressive dynamic movement.
• Deliver systematic prosthetic gait training: stance phase stability, controlled weight shift, swing phase ground clearance, symmetrical step cadence, and cadence modulation.
• Train patients on managing diverse environmental terrain: stairs, ramps, curbs, uneven ground, backward stepping, and obstacle avoidance.
• Provide balance, proprioceptive, and fall-mitigation training, including ground recovery techniques and controlled falling strategies.
• For upper limb prosthetics: coordinate with occupational therapy on socket comfort, muscle site control (for myoelectric devices), and functional prehension tasks.

3. Interdisciplinary Clinical Alignment & Device Tuning

• Work dynamically alongside the Certified Prosthetist during test-socket checkouts, static fitting, and dynamic bench/clinical alignments.
• Identify gait deviations caused by socket fit/alignment issues (e.g., medial/lateral lean, whip, drop-off, vaulting) versus those caused by muscular weakness or habituated compensatory movement patterns.
• Provide objective biomechanical feedback to optimize component parameters (e.g., micro-processor knee/ankle settings, suspension seal integrity, hydraulic resistance).

4. Outcome Measurement & Documentation

• Administer standardized prosthetic outcome measures at intake, milestone checks, and discharge (e.g., AMPPRO/AMPnoPRO, 2-Minute/6-Minute Walk Tests, L-Test, Timed Up and Go, prosthetic satisfaction inventories).
• Maintain thorough, defensible medical records documenting clinical goals, patient progress, device tolerances, and medical necessity justifications for insurance/third-party payers.

5. Patient Education & Long-Term Management

• Instruct patients and caregivers in proper donning/doffing procedures, daily skin checks, sock-ply management, liner care, and device maintenance.
• Address phantom limb pain and residual limb hypersensitivity using evidence-based modalities (e.g., mirror therapy, TENS, progressive desensitization).
• Plan long-term community reintegration, adaptive recreation, and ongoing volume-management strategies.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Physiotherapy / Physical Therapy from an accredited institution.
• Licensure: Active, unrestricted license/registration as a Physiotherapist with the relevant state or national regulatory board.
• Clinical Experience: Minimum of 2–3 years of clinical physiotherapy experience, with at least 1 year dedicated to amputee rehabilitation, prosthetics, or neuro-musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
• Certifications (Preferred): Specialized certification in amputee rehabilitation, advanced gait analysis, or training certifications from component manufacturers (e.g., microprocessor-controlled knees/feet).
