What this paper is

This is a clinical commentary, not a study. It lays out a proposed framework for occupational therapy across four phases of lower limb amputation rehabilitation: acute management, healing, prosthetic training and long-term management. The content comes from the authors' clinical experience and from existing published literature; no new patients were seen, no intervention was tested and no outcomes were measured. Some parts read like recommendations for practice, but they are expert opinion and a review of what others have reported. There is no result here for a clinician to act on, and no evidence that any of the described approaches works better than another.
