Prosthetic rehabilitation for older dysvascular people following a unilateral transfemoral amputation.

CONCLUSIONS: The limited evidence presented in this review is of very low quality and is insufficient to inform the choice of prosthetic rehabilitation, including the optimum weight of the prosthesis, after unilateral transfemoral amputation in older dysvascular people. A programme of research that includes randomised controlled trials to examine key interventions is urgently required in this area. PMID: 30350430 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
