Amputee Coalition of America
Publishes Senior Step Resource Guide
The Amputee Coalition of America (ACA) is proud to announce its newest publication, Senior Step, a 96-page, resource guide to support and educate older amputees, their caregivers and their services providers.
Aging baby boomers, diabetes, obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle are all contributing factors to an increase in amputations. We know, however, that education and a commitment to lifestyle changes can prevent or improve the conditions that place older Americans at risk for amputation and enhance the quality of life for those who have already had an amputation.
Senior Step is a tool to educate older amputees and to help their caregivers and service providers become better informed about their psychosocial and rehabilitation needs. Topics include: resources for recovery, coping with grief and depression, safety, pain management, prosthetic decision-making, exercise and disease management. An annotated bibliography of print, video, and Web resources is included.
Individual copies are $15 each, which includes shipping and handling costs. Bulk orders of 25 copies may be purchased for $250, representing a 30 percent volume savings. To order a copy or copies, call the ACA office toll-free at 1-888/267-5669, ext. 8135.
