Pre-Prosthetic Preparation
Stump care education, desensitisation and strength work that make fitting dramatically smoother.
Amputee Rehabilitation
& Gait Training in Bengaluru
Whether it was diabetes, an accident or disease that took the limb, the question every amputee eventually asks is the same one: will I walk into a room again without everyone noticing? We have watched enough of our patients do exactly that to answer with confidence. Yes, with preparation, a well-fitted prosthesis and patient, methodical gait training.
Our program covers the whole arc. Before the prosthesis: conditioning the residual limb, desensitisation, and building the core and hip strength a prosthetic walk secretly runs on. During fitting: working directly with your prosthetist, because comfort in the socket decides everything. And then the real work, teaching you and your new limb to trust each other, on clinic floors first and the real world soon after.
01 · Who this helps
Stages of Amputee Rehabilitation
Early Prosthetic Training
Weight transfer and standing balance between parallel bars, unhurried, until standing feels ordinary again.
Gait Symmetry Training
Step-length symmetry and rhythm drills that smooth the limp away, metre by metre.
Community Mobility Skills
Stairs, slopes, wet floors, buses, crowds, falling safely and getting up. Life, not corridors.

Our Gait Training Approach
“One year after my accident I walked my daughter into her school on her first day. Nobody in that corridor knew about my leg. That was the goal, and we reached it.”

-
Core & Hip Strengthening
Core, hips and the remaining limb carry a prosthetic gait. We strengthen them from day one, before the first step is ever taken.
-
Prosthetist Coordination
Fit and alignment problems masquerade as walking problems. We communicate with your prosthetist so both get solved.
-
Step Symmetry Drills
Mirrors, metronomes and cueing that even out step length until the gait reads as simply walking.
-
Graded Real-World Practice
Graded practice on ramps, stairs and outdoor ground until no ordinary surface feels like a threat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Anything else on your mind? Call us. A physiotherapist answers the phone, not a machine.
Call +91 96867 82358When should physiotherapy start after amputation?
Gentle rehabilitation ideally begins within weeks of surgery, once healing permits. Early positioning and conditioning prevent contractures and significantly shorten the road to walking.
How long until I walk with a prosthesis?
Most below-knee amputees walk confidently within two to four months of consistent training. Above-knee takes longer. Age, fitness and the reason for amputation all matter, and we will give you a personal, honest estimate.
I am diabetic. Does that change things?
It changes how carefully we protect your other foot, monitor skin and dose the work, and we take all of it seriously. Many of our amputee patients are diabetic and do very well.
I already have a prosthesis but walk with a limp. Can that improve?
Usually, yes. Years of compensation patterns can be retrained. We analyse your gait, fix the underlying strength and alignment issues, and rebuild a smoother walk.
