The use of and satisfaction with prosthesis and quality of life in patients with combat related lower limb amputation, experience of a tertiary referral amputee clinic in turkey

Designing a Virtual Reality Myoelectric Prosthesis Training System for Amputees

“…It has the potential to reduce rejection rates and increase the ability for them to control the prosthetic arm [30,32]. The patients reacted positively to the VR training and identified how it could provide a greater opportunity for amputees to learn from experience before a fitting [10,23,26].…”

“…Prosthetic wearers who reported to be satisfied with the artificial limb reported limited improved mobility and quality of life since they were also encountered difficulties with the prosthetic arm control [30,32]. As a result, adjustment to prosthesis use and prosthetics satisfaction of an artificial limb in people with limb amputation has been a complex and sensitive process because of the physiological (e.g., presence of physical pain and sensations related to the missing body part) and psychological (e.g., depressive and anxiety episodes emerging from body image dissatisfaction) boundaries it encompasses [10,23,26].…”

They did an online survey found that higher cost for prosthetic is an issue raised by all countries.…”

The client satisfaction with device: a Rasch validation of the Arabic version in patients with upper and lower limb amputation

“…The CSD questionnaire was initially developed in English and validated among users of prosthesis across several cultural backgrounds, mainly individuals residing in Western countries. In these countries, peripheral vascular diseases account for 80-90% of all amputations, and the rate of amputations due to traumatic accidents has been constant or declining [6,9,11,12]. However, in other countries, such as Arabic-speaking countries, trauma is the main cause of amputation, particularly from road traffic accidents, and patients tend to be young adults [13][14][15][16][17].…”

“…However, in other countries, such as Arabic-speaking countries, trauma is the main cause of amputation, particularly from road traffic accidents, and patients tend to be young adults [13][14][15][16][17]. Furthermore, in some of these countries, owing to wars and the existence of landmines, an increasing rate of amputations has been observed [12,18]. In Arabic-speaking countries, there are no validated outcome measures for user satisfaction in terms of their experience with the use of prosthesis.…”
