Assunto(s): Lower-limb amputee; Quality of life; Comparative study; Portugal; Spain
Background: Characterising the perception of unilateral lower limb amputees and increasing information and data on their rehabilitation will help to fill the information gap, contributing to the making of new studies with greater scientific and methodological rigour. This knowledge will make it possible to optimise rehabilitation and rationalise costs, enabling the creation of health policies that are appropriate to needs. Aim of the study: To compare the perception of unilateral lower limb amputees on the quality/functionality of life with the prosthesis in Portugal and Spain.
