Details:
The Prosthetic, Orthotic and Limb Absence Rehabilitation (POLAR) Programme at the National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH) provides specialised, interdisciplinary limb absence rehabilitation for patients who have experienced amputation as a result of vascular disease, trauma, cancer, infection or any other cause, and patients with congenital limb absence. This comprehensive rehabilitation service is offered to patients whether or not prosthesis is appropriate.
This is the only prosthetic service in the country to provide the full range of care required by amputees, and also includes a pre-amputation assessment service. Prosthetic limbs and orthotics are manufactured and fitted on site in the National Rehabilitation Hospital in collaboration with our strategic partner, Opcare Ireland.
