Abstract

Forty three patients with unilateral traumatic amputations were reviewed as to the use of prostheses and employment consequences of the amputation. Seventeen of 19 below-elbow amputees, and 12 of 24 above-elbow amputees used their prostheses. Non-users compared to users of prostheses were characterized by: 1) Higher level of amputation 2) Non-dominant arm amputation and 3) Younger age at the time of amputation. However non-users usually did well on the labour market for various reasons.

摘要

对43名单侧外伤性截肢患者的假肢使用情况及截肢对就业的影响进行了回顾。19名肘下截肢者中有17人、24名肘上截肢者中有12人使用了假肢。与假肢使用者相比，非使用者的特征为：1）截肢平面较高；2）非优势手臂截肢；3）截肢时年龄较轻。然而，由于各种原因，非使用者在劳动力市场上通常表现良好。
