Abstract
A 22-year-old male who came in contact with a high-voltage wire, with entry point at the head and exit points at the ankles, presented with flaccid paraplegia and loss of sensation of bilateral lower extremities with no radiographic abnormalities. Several burn-related medical complications arose during the admission, as well as episodes of demotivation. Bilateral below the knee amputation was done because of extensive burn injuries of the lower extremities. The rehabilitation management for a patient with multiple disabilities needed to be tailored depending on the limitations and needs of the patient at a certain point in time. Despite the challenges, satisfactory results were achieved, through telerehabilitation and employing a multidisciplinary team approach.
