Summary

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the psychosocial adaptation, functional capacity, and quality of life of individuals who underwent partial hand or foot amputations after using silicone hand and foot prostheses. Materials and Methods: The study included 32 patients. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the participants were recorded. Participants were divided into two groups as silicone hand or foot prosthesis users. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to assess pain levels before and after prosthesis use, the Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales (TAPES) were applied to evaluate functional capacity, and the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) was used to assess quality of life.
