About Fitness for Amputees
Your portable personal fitness trainer
The Fitness for Amputees app includes a range of easy-to-follow exercises designed by experienced physiotherapists at Ottobock, and is tailored specifically for people with a unilateral leg amputation. The app can offer you regular guidance for up to 6 months after a prosthetic fitting and provides you with the training you need during this period. All you need for the exercises is a mat, a towel and a ball. Once you have installed the app on your device, you can use it offline as well.
The app consists of 3 modules:
• Strength & Endurance: For strengthening the upper body muscles and stabilising the spine. This is the foundation for a natural gait pattern.
• Coordination & Balance: For improving coordination and supporting safe standing on the prosthesis. To enhance your comfort and achieve more natural movement patterns.
• Stretch & Relax: For relaxing the muscles and for faster regeneration. These exercises can increase muscle flexibility.
To achieve the best results, we recommend that you train 2–3 times each week for 5–11 minutes, switching regularly between the three modules. The 3 difficulty levels (easy / normal / difficult) for Strength & Endurance and Coordination & Balance let you individually adjust the exercises to your physical condition. You can achieve long-term progress by switching to a higher difficulty level.
Further functions and benefits:
• Selection of exercises: Complete either a predefined training programme or create your own individual training programme.
• Music selection: Train to the music available in the app or to your own music on your smartphone or tablet.
• Statistics function: Keep an eye on your progress and get an overview of the number of exercises you have already completed.
• Reminder function: Allow the app to remind you of your next training session.

Your service is ok bt in which country the amputes don't get support from government, you should supply your product at cheaper price.

Essential program for amputees. Been amputee 12 years and is probably the most comprehensive program I have found. After 12 years have had considerable wastage on residual limb and hip and back problems due to lack of ongoing physio. This has been an excellent way to get everything working properly again. My only complaint is that it doesn't work on my Xperia z3 tablet. It would be much easier.

I just started using this app about 3 weeks ago. And in that short time, my balance has improved by 20 to 30%. I am a 62 year old female and I lost my right leg above the knee 3 years ago from a severe MRSA infection I got during knee surgery. But I didn't have a choice and I finally had it amputated. Unfortunately, I was very sick. Now, I'm well and thanks to this app, I am getting stronger every day.

Great for coordination. Helps strenghthen that wobbly knee I have. I feel stronger to take that step forward. I have been an amputee all my life. This is definitely a good, quick, not so easy at first, exercise to do daily.
