The effect of cognitive impairment on prosthesis use in older adults who underwent amputation due to vascular-related etiology

Background: Older adults with amputations secondary to vascular etiologies may additionally present with cognitive impairment. Cognition plays an important role in the adoption of a prosthetic limb, although the degree and type of impact are debated. Previous literature reviews have not been directed at the specific population of older adults who underwent vascular-related lower limb amputation. Objectives: First, to assess extant literature for...
