Good evening, All.
Am wondering if there are guidelines pertaining to recovery from a BK amputation.
Specifically, injury was sustained approximately 18 months ago. There have been some complications with osteomyelitis that now appear to have resolved. Individual had been using a mechanical prosthetic but very recently received a Biom foot-ankle device and is very excited about how much more movement it provides. PT will start soon.
I'd like to know if there is an 'average/expected' timeframe for an individual to maximize his/her function with such a device. And, if so, is there a source I can consult for that information?
