Overview
A series of tools for the evaluation of quality of life and patient’s functional abilities after lower extremity amputation can be found in professional literature as well as various clinical tests. These kinds of tools can be used for evaluation current condition and its evolution. The most important factor determining prognosis is the level of mental and postural functions of the patient.
Keywords:
amputation, qualitative methods, testing
