Abstract
The article deals with the quality of life of persons after limb amputation determined using the TAPES-R questionnaire. The questions in the questionnaire focus on four areas - psychosocial adjustment, activity limitation, satisfaction with the prosthesis, examination of phantom limb pain, residual limb pain and other non-amputation-related medical conditions.
In August 2021, a preliminary survey was conducted online using the Czech version of the questionnaire, which was attended by twenty-one respondents. The group was diverse, both in terms of age and length of time since amputation, and the type of amputation.
