After a prosthetic device is designed and fitted especially for a patient, balance training may be helpful. A physician or physical therapist will provide clinical education to ensure maximum comfort and health with the new prosthesis. Medical psychology services may also be helpful as patients and their loved ones adjust to a new lifestyle throughout the recovery process.
