The psychosocial impact associated with diabetes‐related amputation

Research has suggested that the additional impact of a diabetes‐related amputation is associated with poorer physical functioning, poorer psychosocial outcome and greater body image disturbance. However, no study to date has compared patients with diabetes with and without amputation and adequately controlled for additional medical morbidity often found among individuals with an amputation. The aim of this study was to statistically control for any group differences on medical and demographic variables to examine the isolated psychosocial impact of diabetes‐related amputation.
