Abstract

Purpose of review: The aim of this paper is to explore current trends and advancements that lead to improved practitioner knowledge and patient care resulting in better outcomes. It is common for the physiatrist to lead the team of interprofessional practitioners in the care of individuals with upper limb absence. The focus of the care is to understand and access prosthetic options, but there are often other health factors and relevant issues to consider.

Recent findings: Some of the latest updates offer solutions to pain management, prosthetic control, access to relevant evidence, and outcomes-related data. An interesting finding was the influence of telehealth service delivery on multiple issues faced by this population. These issues include lack of information, pain management, monitoring skin breakdown and peripheral vascular disease, prosthetic training, and access to peers and specialized practitioners.

Summary: The diverse technology advancements in surgical techniques, materials, outcome measures, and data management, as well as telehealth, work together to assist the collaborative interprofessional team to provide contemporary and comprehensive care to this unique population.

期刊介绍： This journal aims to offer expert review articles on the most significant recent developments in physical medicine and rehabilitation. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions, the journal serves those for whom an understanding of emerging knowledge in the rehabilitation sciences is essential to optimizing health, function, and participation in individuals with physical disabilities. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An Editorial Board of more than 20 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, ensures that topics include emerging research, and suggests topics of special importance to their country/region. Topics covered may include amputee rehabilitation; interventional pain management; musculoskeletal rehabilitation; pediatric rehabilitation; spinal cord injury rehabilitation; stroke rehabilitation; swallowing disorders; and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation.
