Evaluating amputees requires specific tools, but few are validated in French for adults. Further validation is needed, especially for upper-limb amputees, to improve assessment and care.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Prosthetics and Orthotics
  • Clinical Assessment

Context:

  • Amputee evaluation literature review across Medline and Reedoc databases.
  • Identified key search terms for lower and upper limb amputees in English and French.
  • Focused on diverse evaluation parameters including functional, psychological, and quality of life aspects.

Purpose:

  • To systematically review existing literature on the evaluation of amputees.
  • To identify current methodologies and tools used for assessing amputees.
  • To highlight gaps in evaluation tools, particularly regarding language validation.

Summary:

  • Amputee evaluations vary by amputation level (lower/upper limb) and age (adult/child).
  • Assessments cover balance, walking, prehensile capacity, quality of life, and psychological impact.
