Area of Science:

  • Military Medicine
  • Rehabilitation Science
  • Occupational Therapy

Background:

  • Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom conflicts spurred advances in emergency medicine for complex limb trauma.
  • Significant gaps exist in post-acute treatment and rehabilitation training and policy for limb trauma survivors.
  • The Extremity Trauma and Amputation Center of Excellence developed knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) for rehabilitation specialists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop KSAs and learning objectives for occupational therapists (OTs) providing traumatic amputation care.
  • To address the gap in standardized training for rehabilitation specialists in amputation care.
  • To establish foundational standards for advanced amputation rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

  • A pseudo-Delphi method combining literature review and subject matter expert (SME) interviews.
  • Conversion of identified competencies and clinical practice guideline recommendations into OT-specific KSAs.
  • Iterative review and refinement of draft materials by internal and external experts.

Main Results:

  • Development of 290 KSAs across four clinical topic areas: limb loss, medical management, orthopedic injury, and military-specific considerations.
  • Creation of a program document with 23 instructional modules.
  • Establishment of 28 terminal and 231 enabling learning objectives.

Conclusions:

  • The developed KSAs and learning objectives represent initial standards for advanced amputation rehabilitation by OTs.
  • Formalized limb loss rehabilitation training protocols are crucial for future military amputees.
  • These educational offerings will enable competency assessment, continuing education, and further professional development.
