The findings of a study of 134 single-leg amputees are presented, comparing those who had recently lost a leg with others who had worn prostheses for 1-2 years. Social isolation, psychological risk and felt need were the principal indicators of level of adjustment selected. On none of these measures did experienced prosthesis-wearers show any appreciable improvement over amputees in the early stages of prosthetic rehabilitation. Severe social isolation was present in both groups, and seemed to inhibit the declaration of needs. The persistence of peripheral vascular disease was predictive of poor rehabilitation outcome.
本文介绍了一项针对134名单腿截肢者的研究结果，将近期失去一条腿的患者与佩戴假肢1至2年的患者进行了比较。社交孤立、心理风险和感知需求是所选适应水平的主要指标。在这些指标中，经验丰富的假肢佩戴者在假肢康复早期阶段，相较于截肢者，并未表现出任何明显的改善。两组均存在严重的社交孤立现象，这似乎抑制了需求的表达。外周血管疾病的持续存在预示着康复效果不佳。
