[Digital technologies and strategies in amputation medicine].

Surgical techniques in amputation medicine did not change for a long time, while prosthesis technology underwent rapid development. The focus shifted to optimising the residual limb for prostheses use. At the same time, digital technologies such as gamification, virtual and mixed reality revolutionised rehabilitation. The use of gamification elements increases motivation and adherence to therapy, while immersive technologies enable realistic and interactive therapy experiences. This is particularly useful in the context of controlling modern prostheses and treating phantom pain. In addition, digital applications contribute to optimised documentation of symptoms and therapy successes. Overall, these technologies open up new, effective and personalised therapeutic approaches that can significantly improve the quality of life of amputation patients.
