Abstract

The population of individuals with lower limb amputations which impact daily functioning and participation is growing. These patients have complex rehabilitation needs necessitating interdisciplinary care, however, clinical practice guidelines for occupational therapy are lacking. Occupational therapy offers a unique skill set to support ongoing rehabilitation needs and participation, through a focus on cognition and mental health, activity, accessibility and safety, and pain treatment. This paper introduces a clinical commentary to guide lower limb amputation care and future research to more clearly define best practices related to the role of the occupational therapy in the care of this population.
