dc.description.abstract	People with lower limb amputation that use a prosthesis have higher quality of life and mobility than those who do not, and prosthesis fitting occurs after comprehensive medical care and rehabilitation. However, the amount of medical care and rehabilitation provided for different causes of amputation preceding prosthesis fitting and receipt is unknown. This study aims to retrospectively identify the medical care and rehabilitation necessary for people with lower limb amputation from vascular and non-vascular etiologies to have an initial prosthesis fitting.
