| Abstract | Purpose: To evaluate the existing evidence surrounding the effect of rehabilitation therapies on quality of life (QOL) and function of individuals with a lower-limb amputation and experiencing phantom limb pain (PLP). Methods: This review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses methodology. Four databases were searched with key terms that covered 4 broad areas: phantom limb, lower-limb amputation, rehabilitation interventions, and randomized controlled trial (no date limits). Outcomes of either function or QOL in people receiving rehabilitation for PLP were included. The RoB2.0 risk-of-bias tool was used to rate quality. Results: Five studies were included, reporting on QOL (n = 5) and function (n = 3), using interventions including mirror therapy, phantom exercises, and muscle relaxation. The evidence was mixed in direction and significance, and this was likely attributed to by the heterogeneity of interventions and types of outcomes as well as incomplete reporting. There was very low certainty in the effect of these rehabilitation interventions to affect QOL or function. Conclusion: The overall effect of rehabilitation interventions on QOL and function is inconclusive because of the variable results across the included randomized controlled trials. More research is needed to explore the impact of interventions beyond the outcome of pain and to establish a clearer conclusion. Including measures of QOL and function as well as pain in studies with people with PLP is encouraged. |
