How has body image been evaluated among people with lower limb loss? A scoping review
CONCLUSION: People with lower limb loss report a negative body image when compared to other populations. Definitions and understanding of body image changed overtime and varied among studies which may impact introducing interventions to promote positive body image during rehabilitation and beyond in this population.PMID:38563712 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2335646 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

What are the experiences of people with motor and sensory functional neurological disorder? A systematic review and thematic synthesis of qualitative studies
CONCLUSIONS: 12 papers were included in the synthesis describing the views of 156 people with FND. The overarching theme was uncertainty; about what caused FND and how to live with it. Uncertainty was underpinned by four analytic themes; challenging healthcare interactions, loss of power and control, who or what is responsible and living with a visible disability and an invisible illness. Early and clear diagnosis, validation and support for living with FND should form part of multidisciplinary care. Co-produced service development, research agendas and education for clinicians, patients and the public would reduce stigma ...
