Abstract

This paper aims to review the available literature for amputee rehabilitation training throughout history and current times while giving a preview of future endeavors. There is limited literature available regarding specifics of amputee care training in PM&R. There have been some advances with creation of fellowships but most of the literature shows a clear need to increase and improve amputee rehabilitation training and education to ensure the growing population is appropriately cared for. Amputee care played a huge role in the development of the field of PM&R and is still a critical part of education for physiatrists. However, this article points out the need to continue to improve and offer new opportunities for all physiatrists.
