Magister Scientiae (Physiotherapy) - MSc(Physio) / Persons with lower limb amputations (LLA) experience different challenges in
the community. These challenges include the physical, psychological and social
function of an individual. Little is known in Malawi on what persons with
lower limb amputations go through in the communities where they live.
Therefore, the study aimed at exploring and determining community experiences
of persons with LLA in Malawi. The study sought to address the following
objectives: 1) To determine the functional and psychological status of persons
with LLA in the community; 2) To explore and describe experiences on social
participation of persons with LLA in the community; 3). To explore experiences
on community re-integration following LLA.
