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, muscle strength loss. Along with physical complications delayed in rehabilitation may also significantly affect psychological, economical and quality of daily life. Pakistan is a low income under developed country and major cause of amputation in here is traumatic amputation, that will effect mostly the 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 effected. There is a keen need of implementation of global rules for physical rehabilitation of amputees and disables including the duration of induction of prosthetic as well as overall physical rehabilitation after surgical and traumatic removal of limbs.
