DOI: 10.1016/j.rehab.2020.03.016
Abstract: BACKGROUND High-tech prostheses are supposed to achieve better functional recovery over mechanical-controlled prostheses in lower-limb amputees. However, quantitative data are insufficient. OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate changes in quality of life, life satisfaction, perception of… read more here.
