Between January 1989 and March 1993 117 patients were treated after acquired bilateral amputation of the lower extremities at the "Klinik und Poliklinik für Technische Orthopädie und Rehabilitation der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster", Germany. Information from patients files and telephone interviews were collected to assess the degree of use of prostheses. All patients with levels of amputation not higher than above-knee on one side and hind-foot on the other side used their prostheses for daily walking. None of the patients with bilateral knee-disarticulation or higher levels of amputation used prosthetic devices for regular walking. In patients with amputation levels between these extremes the result of rehabilitation with prostheses is determined mainly by the cause of the amputation.
1989年1月至1993年3月期间，德国明斯特威斯特法伦威廉姆斯大学“技术矫形与康复临床与门诊部”对117例后天性双侧下肢截肢患者进行了治疗。收集患者档案信息和电话访谈内容，以评估假肢的使用程度。所有截肢水平一侧不高于膝上且另一侧为后足的患者均使用假肢进行日常行走。双侧膝关节离断或更高截肢水平的患者均未使用假肢进行常规行走。在截肢水平处于这两个极端之间的患者中，假肢康复的结果主要取决于截肢原因。
