Аннотация
The use of prosthetic and orthotic care services among patients with limb stumps due to obliterative diseases of peripheral arteries is analyzed based on the population register of limb amputations. It is established that not more than 34% of patients apply for primary prosthesis after lower limb amputation. This rate decreases among patients older than 60 years and significantly decreases among patients older than 70 years—down to 16.2%. Particularly low indicators of the use of prosthetics are revealed among women older than 70 years. In order to improve the mobility level and quality of life among this population of patients, it is proposed to design and implement interdepartmental rehabilitation programs in the regions.
