About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of personalized care in amputation rehabilitation with insights from experts in the field.

When it comes to prosthetics, “the right fit” is about finding the right plan, the right timing, and the right team. In this episode, Dr. Yunna Sinskey and Dr. Doug Henry sit down with amputation rehabilitation expert, Dr. Rebecca Speckman, physiatrist, University of Washington and VA Puget Sound Health Care System, to discuss the physiatrist’s role in amputee care, and the latest advancements in prosthetics and treatments. Join the Conversation : Complex care. Better outcomes. Amputee care isn’t one-size-fits-all—and neither are the decisions that come with it. How do you navigate these moments with your patients and care teams? We’d love to hear your perspective. LinkedIn Instagram Guest Rebecca Speckman, M.D. PhD.
