Rehabilitation experiences following major lower limb amputation due to complications of vascular disease: a UK qualitative study

Enabling contact with other patients should thus be a key consideration when planning rehabilitation. There is a clear unmet need for realistic information relating to post-amputation recovery, tailored to the needs of individual patients.PMID:38622944 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2329747
