Feasibility of self-management for amputee rehabilitation using technology and peer support for improving walking and confidence in individuals with lower limb loss
Only small intervention and protocol refinements are required to SMART. These will be incorporated for a future multisite randomized controlled trial. SMART is an eHealth education program for people with LLL. Self-management for amputee rehabilitation using technology with peer support is a feasible intervention. However, adjustments to the study protocol and intervention safety are necessary before proceeding with the evaluation of SMART in a larger study.
