Comprehensive rehabilitation of the amputee should be more than the provision of a prosthetic device. This is especially true for the geriatric amputee, whose needs are greater because of comorbidity, fragile social supports, and limited resources. This article reviews demographic information as well as preventive, preoperative, and immediate postoperative care of the amputee. Phantom sensation and pain and their management are addressed. Prosthetic components selection and the rehabilitation in different environments are considered, as is the care of the bilateral amputee and the patient with dual disability.
截肢者的综合康复不应仅仅局限于提供假肢装置。对于老年截肢者而言尤其如此，由于存在合并症、社会支持薄弱以及资源有限，他们的需求更为迫切。本文回顾了截肢者的人口统计学信息以及预防、术前和术后即刻护理。文中还探讨了幻肢感觉和疼痛及其处理方法。同时考虑了假肢组件的选择以及在不同环境中的康复情况，以及双侧截肢者和双重残疾患者的护理。
