Gülhane lower extremity amputee rehabilitation protocol: A nationwide, 123-year experience

Abstract

Amputation, one of the oldest known surgical procedures, causes many physical, mental and sociological problems. With its 123 years of experience, Gülhane has a special knowledge and experience, particularly in amputation. The main purpose of this protocol is to reveal the steps to be followed in individuals with lower extremity amputation. In this way, it is aimed to create a resource which can be used by our colleagues who have difficulties in using an appropriate approach due to the lack of experience.
