Abstract

Aim: this paper aims to systematically review the literature on compensatory processes and functional mechanisms in individuals with unilateral lower limb amputation. Materials and methods. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of 27 publications from PubMed, examining the compensatory mechanisms in transtibial and transfemoral amputees. Results. This review encompassed parameters from muscular, central nervous, autonomic nervous, and cardiovascular systems. The paper summarizes information on socio-demographic factors, biomedical indicators, prosthetic rehabilitation protocols, functional testing methods, and ergonomic characteristics of prosthetic devices. Conclusion. This comprehensive review provides a framework for understanding compensatory processes in individuals with lower limb amputation. The findings suggest that consideration of these correlates can lead to optimized prosthetic rehabilitation programs and improved biopsychosocial adaptation of amputees to their living conditions.
