The UK will host the Paralympics in 2012 and the Commonwealth Games in 2014 showcasing the talents of elite athletes and aiming to inspire the population to become involved. However, low levels of physical activity are prevalent: only 40% of men and 28% of women meet the minimum UK physical activity recommendations. The population of people with limb absence is no exception.
To determine if people with amputation are participating in physical activity and sport; whether post-amputation activity levels match pre-amputation levels; and if there are motivations and barriers to participation.
Literature review.
Five reviewers systematically searched all peer reviewed and gray literature in seven bibliographic databases and the Cochrane Library.
Following rigorous elimination, 12 articles were finally included in the review and critically appraised. Four themes were identified: components; rehabilitation outcomes; body image; and motivations and barriers to participation.
People with limb absence are not participating in physical activity conducive to health benefits, and only a minority participate in exercise and sports. Participation following amputation does not mirror that of pre-amputation levels, and more barriers than motivations exist to adopting or maintaining a physically active lifestyle.
英国将于2012年举办残奥会，2014年举办英联邦运动会，展示精英运动员的才华，并旨在激励民众参与其中。然而，身体活动水平较低的情况普遍存在：只有40%的男性和28%的女性达到英国身体活动的最低建议标准。肢体缺失人群也不例外。
确定截肢者是否参与体育活动；截肢后的活动水平是否与截肢前相当；以及参与的动机和障碍。
文献综述。
五名评审人员系统检索了七个书目数据库和考科蓝图书馆中的所有同行评审文献和灰色文献。
经过严格筛选，最终有12篇文章纳入综述并进行了批判性评价。确定了四个主题：组成部分；康复结果；身体形象；以及参与的动机和障碍。
肢体缺失者未参与有益健康的体育活动，只有少数人参与锻炼和运动。截肢后的参与情况不如截肢前，在采取或维持积极的生活方式方面，障碍多于动机。
