Fisioterapia pre-protésica en el paciente amputado de miembro inferior

ABSTRACT: Amputation is a surgical procedure which consists of removing a limb partially or totally, as a result of a pathology or having suffered a trauma, so that people who present this removal of a limb, will present functional, social and psychological difficulties causing a general instability. The objective of this research is to investigate the benefits and importance of pre-prosthetic physiotherapy in lower limb amputee patients by means of scientific evidences exposed in the current medical literature. The research was carried out through a bibliographic analysis of the topic "Pre-prosthetic physiotherapy in the lower limb amputee patients" so that, scientific articles were collected taking as reference a publication date between the year 2011 onwards, having a total of 35 articles validated according to the PEDro scale. The data were extracted from sources such as Pubmed, Scielo, Science, Google Scholar and PEDro. It was possible to demonstrate that the implementation of several physiotherapeutic techniques can improve the physical condition, development of the residual limb, the procedure for phantom limb syndrome and preparing them for the use of a prosthesis, reaching a reliable consensus on the pre-prosthetic physiotherapeutic treatment for amputation. After comparing several articles analyzed, it is concluded that pre-prosthetic physiotherapy in lower limb amputee patients promotes a positive recovery because it avoids muscle atrophy, reduces pain, strengthens the residual limb, increases muscle mass and improves balance and coordination, achieving in this way the patient's independence.
