Abstract
In recent years, various treatments for limb salvage have been performed on patients with critical limb ischemia. Unfortunately, some patients may not be without lower limb amputation surgery. We studied on dialysis patients of our hospital, about daily life return after having adopted prosthetic limbs and rehabilitation of lower limb amputation surgery. Patients using energy-storing prosthetic feet made of carbon obtained immediately stable walking ability. The patients were able to walk stairs relatively quickly. Suitable early rehabilitation was useful for returning, for the daily life. Even if patients with the disability hands who were operated by the bilateral lower limb amputation, were possible to get on and off wheelchairs by the little assistance with appropriate early rehabilitation. Therefore we should try to make the patient with lower limb amputation using the suitable early rehabilitation and prosthesis return to daily life.
