Social, vocational, and family-community influences on rehabilitated amputee clients from Utah Division of Vocational Rehabilitation 1949-1954

The Problem Amputations result from accidents, diseases, and congenital absence of limb which is referred to as 'amputation at birth." Persons who have lost or were born without arms, legs, or parts of them, are known as "amputees." They are disabled and need rehabilitation in order to achieve the fullest physical, emotional, social, vocational, and economic usefulness of which they are capable.
