Background: Lower limb amputation in lowincome countries such as Nigeria imposes significant economic, social, and psychological burdens. Mobility—and thus quality of life (QoL)—is shaped by prosthetic design, rehabilitation, and psychosocial adaptation. Objective: To assess the quality of life among adult lower limb amputees in Southeastern Nigeria who had used prostheses for at least six months, and to examine the influence of sociodemographic characteristics and prosthetic componentry on rehabilitation outcomes. Methods: A crosssectional survey of 47 amputees using prostheses for ≥6 months was conducted in two private institutions in Enugu and Imo States. Data were collected with a researcherdesigned proforma and the TAPESR questionnaire, covering psychosocial adjustment, activity restriction, and prosthetic satisfaction. Analyses employed Spearman’s correlation and MannWhitney U tests. Results: Participants’ mean age was 50.6 years; transtibial amputation predominated (68.1%). Most used SACH feet and PTB sockets. Psychosocial adjustment was high for general (M=21.15) and social (M=21.70) domains but lower for limitation adjustment (M=16.11). Activity restriction was greatest in athletics (M=9.17). Functional satisfaction scored highest (M=20.34). Age correlated significantly with activity restriction, while suspension type correlated with limitation adjustment and weight satisfaction. Conclusion: Despite positive psychosocial adjustment, reliance on basic prosthetic components and marked athletic restrictions highlight gaps in functional rehabilitation.
