Health-related quality of life among lower limb amputees using prostheses in Nepal: a cross-sectional study
These findings indicate that age, marital status, extremity dominance, reason for amputation, stump pain treatment, and pain management are critical factors influencing the quality of life among lower limb amputees. The study underscores the need for comprehensive rehabilitation programs incorporating effective pain management, spouse support, and tailored interventions based on individual demographic and clinical characteristics.
