Prateek Grover, MBBS, PhD, MHA, FAAPMR, is a physician-scientist-educator specializing in limb loss, limb difference, and limb preservation. At the Penn State College of Medicine, he serves as an Associate Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (with an adjunct appointment in Biomedical Engineering) and as the Vice Chair of Quality and Safety.
His career is dedicated to mapping patient journeys through complex health systems, using implementation science to design, develop, and implement diagnosis-specific rehabilitation continuum (DRC) programs. For limb loss, this work is anchored by his development of the Multilevel Limb Loss and Preservation Rehabilitation Continuum (MLPRC) model and the Lower Limb Loss Rehabilitation Continuum (LLRC) framework.
Dr. Grover translates these models into practice as the Founding Director of the Penn State LimbRehabCaRES Center, an innovation hub where multidisciplinary care, research, education, and advocacy converge to create scalable patient-focused solutions.
This expertise informs his national impact as well, as the Medical Director of the Amputee Coalition, Chair of the Policy and Legislation Committee for the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine (ACRM), and physician leader for Pennsylvania in the "So Every Body Can Move" initiative.
By integrating clinical excellence and research with workforce development and legislative advocacy, he works toward a broader mission: building sustainable rehabilitation systems that improve quality of life and healthcare access at a population scale.
