Why is balance training important for diabetics?

Nerve damage can make balance unsteady, and after surgery or amputation the body must relearn safe movement. Balance training lowers the risk of falls, which is vital when the remaining foot must be protected from new injury.

When does walking training start after amputation?

Gentle balance and mobility work often begins early in recovery, with walking progressed as healing allows and, where relevant, once a prosthesis is fitted. The pace is tailored to your healing and strength.

Can this training help me use a prosthesis?

Yes. Walking and balance training is a key part of learning to walk with a prosthesis, building the control, confidence and safe technique needed to use it well.

How does the training protect my remaining foot?

By improving balance and a safe gait, it reduces falls and abnormal pressure, and it is combined with advice on footwear and foot care so the remaining foot is protected while you become more active.

How much does walking and balance training cost in India?

It is usually part of a rehabilitation programme. EDFC explains all charges before starting. Contact the clinic for an estimate based on your programme.
