Abstract

 In our experience in the Amputee Service, we could discover that patients who prescribed a prosthesis didn't sometimes achieve the expected results.

That's the reason why we suggested that the agents which can affect in the obtainment of a successful treatment must be studied. We also elaborated an Initial Assessment of Treatment Sheets that allows us to establish a prognostic over the Final results, which have been collected in a different Sheet.

Across comparative studies, we have been able to measure the percentage for defining our recovery functional plan which is aimed at prosthetics or if it is not the case, a recovery treatment can alternatively be carried out directed to the good management of the wheelchair for daily life activities.
