“…Indeed, bilateral amputations have been found to impede physical functioning to a greater extent than unilateral limb loss. 40,41 Shorter time elapsed since amputation was associated with steeper increases in general adjustment over time. Delays in rehabilitation admission may be indicative of more complex cases, which could account for the less pronounced increase in general adjustment observed.…”

“…However, a higher level of amputation (e.g., transfemoral vs transtibial) has been associated with decreased QOL [15]. Mental health is reportedly higher than physical health in people with lower-limb amputations, although studies have found physical health is more closely related to overall QOL [9][10][11][12][13][16][17][18].…”

Abstract-This study examined the longitudinal changes in generic health-related quality of life (QOL), prosthesis-related QOL, falls efficacy, and walking speed in men with lower-limb amputations up to 6 months following discharge from rehabilitation. Seven male unilateral transtibial amputees completed the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey, the Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire, and the Modified Falls Efficacy Scale at 1, 3, and 6 months postdischarge from rehabilitation. Walking speed was also recorded to objectively assess participants' mobility. Health-related QOL measures displayed increases, resulting in large effect sizes though not reaching statistical significance. Prosthesis-related QOL measures indicated that scales relating to the participants' prostheses improved and the support of significant others was the most positively scored variable. Walking speed increased by 0.12 m/ s, although it was not significantly related to indices of QOL or falls efficacy. Falls efficacy did not improve significantly during the study period, although it was strongly related to QOL (p < 0.05). These results provide a novel insight into how QOL and falls efficacy develop in people with lower-limb amputations, alongside changes in mobility, after discharge from rehabilitation. Further improvements in physical health following discharge may be required to elicit subsequent increases in overall QOL and concurrent improvements in falls efficacy.
