Funded Activity Summary

Transforming patient care, musculoskeletal function and falls prevention in lower limb amputees. The number of people with an amputation will double within 40 years. This presents a burden on health services as the majority of amputees are older and fall more frequently than able-bodied individuals. In Australia, there are minimal clinical guidelines related to amputee care and none related to falls prevention specifically. The aim of the current project is to advance amputee care by transforming national standards and improving falls prevention in lower limb amputees. The outcomes of the project will promote physical activity for falls prevention and better quality of life, raise the standard of service provision and make healthcare providers more accountable for the care of amputees across Australia.
