Amputee Limb Loss Registration
South Piedmont AHEC is pleased to partner with Hanger Clinics to provide the Amputee Walking School.
The Amputee Walking School provides training in advanced amputee exercises appropriate for both physical therapists and those with limb loss of all levels and abilities. The dynamics and control of prosthetic devices will be discussed to allow therapists to gain necessary skills to advance their amputee patients to the next level, and to instruct amputees to use their prosthesis more effectively. For over 35 years, the Amputee Walking School has reached more than 30,000 amputees and therapists across the country and around the world.
