Abstract
The loss of a limb is a life-altering event that profoundly affects an individual's capacity to engage in their daily routines. Therapy can play a vital role in maximizing their participation and overall independence. The rehabilitation process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's current functional level and should also include a detailed report of their occupational profile.
