The rehabilitation of the amputated lower limb patient is a process in which the physical, psychological, occupational management and not only the simple restitution of the amputated limb is included.
The overall treatment should be considered as a continuous dynamic procedure, which begins at the time of the injury and continues until the patient has reached the maximum utility of his prosthesis and is able to perform the essential activities of daily life and occupy a job.
The amputation of lower limbs assumes new biomechanical patterns of loading and walking, and injuries may appear due to overload or disuse.
Most have non-traumatic bone disorders such as osteoporosis and anomalous ossification.
