摘要: The aim was to review the literature on factors affecting prosthetic rehabilitation of older vascular lower extremity amputees. A search carried out using MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL databases up September 2010. Only original English language articles were accepted. Relevant studies reviewed selected based prespecified inclusion criteria namely: age more than 65 years; cause for amputation; amputation level below knee, through-the-knee or above knee; discussed rehabilitation. Age alone is not an absolute contraindication limb prescription; however, it does influence potential success gait retraining. Other influencing fitting use include comorbidities, premorbid function, amputation, status remaining patient motivation. Prosthetic retraining possible in every dysvascular amputee; almost all amputees will benefit from a program increase independence transfers learn wheelchair skills. MESH key words were: "aged" "diabetes complications" "peripheral diseases" "amputees" "amputation" "rehabilitation" "artificial limbs".
