Summary

A randomized control trial of 50 patients to identify the effect of early prosthetic fitting and physical rehabilitation. Previous studies show a significant impact of early induction of prosthetic rehabilitation of amputation. Delayed rehabilitation may cause severe physical complications like joint contracture, and muscle strength loss.

Detailed description

Along with physical complications delays in rehabilitation may also significantly affect psychological, economic, and quality of daily life. Pakistan is a low-income developed country and the major cause of amputation here is traumatic amputation, which affects mostly younger age people. After missing a precious body part if the amputee comes along with such kind of physical and Psychological complications, his/her whole daily life will be affected. There is a keen need for the implementation of global rules for physical rehabilitation of amputees and disabled including the duration of induction of prosthetics as well as overall physical rehabilitation after surgical and traumatic removal of limbs.
