Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Rehabilitation Science

Background:

  • Amputation significantly impacts athletes' lifestyle, self-perception, and quality of life.
  • Sport participation for amputees has evolved since the mid-20th century, aided by prosthetic advancements.
  • Limb loss alters biomechanics, potentially leading to degenerative joint changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current literature on amputee athletes.
  • To identify factors influencing return to sport after amputation.
  • To detail the physical and psychosocial impacts of limb loss on athletes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on amputee athletes.
  • Analysis of factors affecting return to sport.
  • Examination of physical and psychosocial outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Return to sport is influenced by patient, surgical, activity, and prosthetic factors.
  • Prosthetic choice depends on the sport and amputation level.
  • Altered biomechanics can lead to joint degeneration.

Conclusions:

  • Multiple interrelated factors determine an amputee athlete's ability to return to sport.
  • Prosthetic technology plays a crucial role in enabling participation.
  • Understanding these factors is key to optimizing rehabilitation and support.
