Satisfaction and Quality of Life Among Prosthetic Users in Gaza Governorate ,

Palestinian Territories128 participantsStarted 2025-09-01

Plain-language summary

Prosthetic devices help amputees regain mobility and improve appearance. When patients are satisfied with their prosthesis, they are more likely to use it consistently, leading to better rehabilitation outcomes. In Gaza, the 2023 Gaza War caused a rise in traumatic amputations and limited access to healthcare and prosthetic services. This makes rehabilitation more difficult, affecting both physical and mental health. Research on patient satisfaction and quality of life (QoL) among lower limb prosthetic users in Gaza is limited. This study evaluates satisfaction and QoL in this population, aiming to provide information to improve prosthetic care and guide interventions tailored to local needs.
