title: [The patient undergoing amputation of the lower limbs and the changes in activities of daily living].
abstract: The present study is part of the DIOGO monograph. The objective is to verify the alterations identified in aged patients which had been submitted to amputation of their lower limbs, in relation to everyday life. The data was collected from 25 inpatients, of a government university hospital. The analysis of the results suggests that the alterations referred by the patients submitted to amputation less than 10 days before coincide with those referred by aged patients which had had their limbs amputated over a month before, in the items related to body hygiene and locomotion.
