Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate trends in the prosthesis provision and training experience of individuals with upper limb absence and whether these trends were associated with any demographic factor. Furthermore, we evaluated whether the rehabilitation experience was associated with quality of life, health markers and other measures of rehabilitation success. Results of this study indicate demographic differences in upper limb prosthetic rehabilitation as well as trends in the effect of the prosthetic rehabilitation experience on patient outcomes.
