The purpose: bilateral amputation of the lower limbs is a significant intervention in a person's life. It affects him physically as well as socially. Having changed living conditions, our task is to resocialize the individual.
Materials and methods. In our study, we explored the case of NRC Kováčová, diagnosed with bilateral amputation of the lower limbs. Between the beginning of 2017 and the end of 2021, they underwent an eight-week rehabilitation program. Retrospective data collection and analysis were conducted. Results: As a result of complex treatment, patients are able to become more self-sufficient in normal daily activities. Reintegration is encouraged by improving self-sufficiency, to which social counseling also contributes.
Conclusions. We confirm the positive effects of social counseling and rehabilitation after bilateral amputation of the lower limbs in our paper. In addition, participating in group rehabilitation supports the socialization and reintegration of the individual, resulting in an improvement in quality of life for them.
