Description
Villa Medica is a rehabilitation facility for adults Our program there started in January 2003 It was agreed that our pilot project would focus primarily on amputees Usually between the ages of 45 and 80 these patients have undergone amputations as a result of their diabetes Amputees often feel depressed when faced with the significant change in lifestyle brought about by their amputation Clowns help to reach out to them by being out of place themselves in the hospital through their clumsiness and incapacities They go from room to room encouraging patients to accept their amputation to become comfortable with their prostheses and to interact with others Sometimes the clowns are asked to accompany patients during physiotherapy or occupational therapy to encourage them to try harder Our clowns also visit patients in the orthopedic surgery and burn units and sometimes those suffering from aphasia
