Amputation is a destructive procedure in which patients lose part of their limb and become permanently disabled. If the patient needs to install a prosthesis, he should actively cooperate with rehabilitation treatment to reduce the adverse effects of amputation on the patient's physical health and mental activity.
 
After the amputation, patients can eat more foods which can makes bones strong, soothing and active, such as goji berries, figs, luo han guo, papaya, bitter melon, loofah, lychee, longan, walnuts, mulberries, fungus, etc.
 
Always pay attention to the patient's mental state, and help the patient to get out of the pessimistic and world-weary mood, improve the enthusiasm for life, have the courage to fight against the disease, and maintain a good attitude. Pay more attention to the patient's physical state, help solve the difficulties encountered by the patient, patients who cannot move, need to help turn over regularly, pay attention to whether there is redness, swelling and blackening in the compressed area, and whether the bedding is dry, tidy and smooth. The diet should choose nutritious, digestible food, the diet is as diverse as possible, do not always provide patients with a single food, improve the patient's appetite.
 
Rehabilitation training after amputation surgery is mainly to restore the basic functions of normal limbs. Functional recovery training can improve the patient's physical health, promote the stump stereotype, enhance muscle strength, improve joint mobility, so that the prosthesis can play a normal compensatory function after assembling the prosthesis. Upper limb amputees, especially those who have lost the habit of using one side of the upper arm, should do one-handed activity training, generally 24 hours after surgery can be trained in bed or on the ground, after adaptation can improve the movement, do some more dexterous activity training. Lower limb amputees should carry out progressive resistance training after surgery, 24 hours after surgery can take simple training in bed, after a week can be worn on the ground with a temporary prosthesis with an air bag, practice walking, can not wait for the pain to eliminate or the incision healed after the start of training, otherwise if the muscle atrophy, is not conducive to the installation and use of prosthetics in the later stage. To avoid wound pain while active, do not limit the use of painkillers. Phantom limb pain is a common problem after amputation, and both the stump and the normal limb can be relieved by both bilateral exercises at the same time. In severe cases, painkillers need to be used as prescribed by the doctor. Physical therapy is also an important treatment method to reduce symptoms, promote wound healing, eliminate swelling, soften scars, and reduce complications.
