Ideally, a collaborative team approach is already in place between the certified
prosthetist (CP) and the occupational therapist (OT) before patients are casted
for a prosthesis. Once an individual has completed their preprosthetic
rehabilitation program and received an operational prosthesis from a CP, it is
imperative that an OT provides prosthetic training. Prosthetic training is
necessary so that the individual can learn how to use and incorporate the
prosthesis into their daily life. Prosthetic training consists of 3 main phases:
controls training, repetitive drills, and bimanual functional skill training.
