Care Coordination in Limb Loss & Limb Difference

In this episode of Beyond the Limb, Will Riddick is joined by Tracy Rauk, a physical therapist and Amputation Rehabilitation Coordinator within the Veterans Affairs Amputation System of Care, to discuss care coordination for people with limb loss and limb difference. They explore strategies for building interdisciplinary teams, collaborating with community providers, addressing gaps in rehabilitation services, and connecting patients with resources like the Amputee Coalition and adaptive recreation programs. Tracy shares practical advice for physical therapists working with this population and highlights the importance of looking beyond functional goals to help patients reconnect with their communities, rediscover meaningful roles, and live well after amputation.
