Cross-sectional study shows lower quality of life among prosthetic and orthotic users compared to peers, indicating a need for targeted socioeconomic and community-based rehabilitation support.
Despite rehabilitation services, people with physical disability experienced lower QOL in terms of the physical health, psychological, and environmental domains than did people without disability. Community-based rehabilitation programmes for prosthetic and orthotic users need to increase and improve their rehabilitation services to increase income and improve access to education. Priority could be given to those who have no or irregular income, live in urban slums, and have not attended school to further improve their QOL.
