Rehabilitation and prosthetic training after above-knee amputation
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a hospital-based rehabilitation and prosthetic training program for people who have lost a leg above the knee due to blood vessel disease or diabetes. It aims to see if this program helps them recover and use an artificial leg more effectively.
