    Achieving independence in applying lower extremity prostheses and clothing is crucial for bilateral above-knee amputees. This study presents an occupational therapy plan and a dressing frame to aid this essential rehabilitation goal.

    Area of Science:

    • Rehabilitation Medicine
    • Occupational Therapy
    • Prosthetics & Orthotics

    Background:

    • Independent application of lower extremity prostheses and clothing is vital for optimal rehabilitation in bilateral above-knee amputees.
    • Difficulty in self-application often leads to dependency and reduced use of prosthetic devices and clothing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose an occupational therapy treatment plan for individuals with above-knee amputations.
    • To identify factors contributing to dependency and decreased use of lower extremity prostheses and clothing.
    • To introduce a novel bilateral lower extremity dressing frame designed to facilitate independent application.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a structured occupational therapy intervention program.
    • Analysis of common challenges faced by bilateral above-knee amputees in self-care.

  • Design and description of a specialized dressing frame for prosthetic and clothing application.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed occupational therapy plan addresses key barriers to independence.
    • The bilateral lower extremity dressing frame enables easier and independent application of prostheses and clothing.
    • Independence in self-application is a prerequisite for achieving functional ambulation.

    Conclusions:

    • Occupational therapy interventions, including specialized adaptive equipment, can significantly improve self-sufficiency in bilateral above-knee amputees.
    • Successful independent application of prostheses and clothing is directly linked to improved functional outcomes and ambulation.
    • The cost-effectiveness of rehabilitation is validated by achieving independence and functional ambulation.
