Abstract | Amputation is the surgical removal of all or part of a limb, often due to injury, disease, or medical procedures. The causes of limb amputation differ depending on the country or region. Amputation compromises the body's integrity and greatly reduces quality of life (QoL), leading to challenges such as limited mobility, pain, and a feeling of physical incompleteness. People affected by amputation also experience psychological and social repercussions, including mental health struggles like depression, anxiety, and in some cases, thoughts of suicide. Study selection: This narrative review is conducted on databases from pub med, Google scholar, and ResearchGate. This review included 10 studies on the effect of lower limb amputation on body image, quality of life and functional mobility. Conclusion: Lower-limb amputation impacts physical, emotional, and social well-being. Advanced prosthetics, CBT (Cognitive behavioural therapy), and effective pain management improve mobility, self-esteem, and quality of life, especially in transtibial and unilateral amputees. |
