Jimmy talks with UCSF clinical professor Danny Keller about the real-world challenges of treating patients with limb loss. They discuss prosthetic mechanics, working with interdisciplinary teams, the emotional side of recovery, and the emerging technologies shaping the future of amputee rehab.
If you're a physical therapist who wants to better understand amputee rehabilitation — or you're a clinic owner looking to expand your clinical knowledge — this episode delivers practical insights you can use immediately.
