Abstract

Lower limb amputations (LLA) have a significant impact on global morbidity. Approximately 2 million people are living with lower limb amputation in the United States and this figure is expected to rise. LLA lead to physical disabilities and can cause restriction in functionalities in the everyday life of amputees. Patients lose their independence, which can be very debilitating and eventually causes physical, behavioral, and psychical changes. These changes after amputations should be properly addressed and must be incorporated into rehabilitation to improve and regain better adjustment to life among amputees. This article focuses on determining various factors and their effect on quality of life after lower limb amputations.

截肢者的生活：下肢截肢后生活质量的预测因素。

下肢截肢（LLA）对全球发病率有重大影响。美国约有200万人患有下肢截肢，预计这一数字还会上升。LLA会导致身体残疾，并可能限制截肢者的日常生活功能。患者失去独立性，这可能会使人非常虚弱，并最终导致身体、行为和心理变化。截肢后的这些变化应该得到妥善解决，并且必须纳入康复中，以改善和重新适应截肢者的生活。本文着重探讨下肢截肢后各种因素及其对生活质量的影响。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
