Description

<p>The purpose of this study was to clarify the factors related to the practical use of functional prosthesis in home life through a cross-sectional study of 156 upper limb amputees. We analyzed 54 patients with one-sided upper limb amputations who were using functional prosthesis, and obtained data based on basic factors, prosthesis information, the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH), Based on the DASH score, we classified the functional prosthesis into the practical group and the non-practical group and compared them. As a result, stump pain was significantly less in the practical group than in the non-practical group. Age, injury age, and depressive state were significantly lower in the practical group than in the non-practical group, suggesting that age, injured age, presence or absence of stump pain, and depressive state may be related to the practical use of functional prosthesis in home life.</p>
