Amputee

An amputee is someone who has had a limb—such as an arm or leg—partially or fully removed, often due to injury, illness, or medical conditions like diabetes. This removal can be surgical, aiming to improve health or safety. Amputees may use prosthetic devices, like artificial limbs, to help with mobility and daily activities. The process includes physical and psychological adaptation. Advances in technology and therapy have improved quality of life for amputees, allowing many to regain function and independence.
