Lower limb amputation has an incidence 7 to 8 times higher than upper limb amputations, with a 60% prevalence in men. Being the main causes: vascular diseases, trauma, or as the only option to remove a tumor. When individuals undergo an amputation, they experience physical and psychological changes, within which the loss of physical capacity leads them to decrease their ability to walk and in activities of daily living. Therefore, the main purpose of the physiotherapeutic process in amputees is functional recovery that achieves maximum autonomy for the patient.
