Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the psychosocial adaptation, functional capacity, and quality of life of individuals who underwent partial hand or foot amputations after using silicone hand and foot prostheses.
Materials and Methods: The study included 32 patients. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the participants were recorded. Participants were divided into two groups as silicone hand or foot prosthesis users. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to assess pain levels before and after prosthesis use, the Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales (TAPES) were applied to evaluate functional capacity, and the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) was used to assess quality of life.

| silicone hand or finger prosthesis | Device | To the best of the author's knowledge, no previous studies have evaluated and compared customised finger and partial silicone prostheses in both extremities. This feature distinguishes the present study from other studies. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) | The NHP questionnaire consists of two sections with "Yes-No" responses. The first section includes dimensions such as energy levels, pain, emotional reactions, sleep, social isolation, and physical abilities, while the second section addresses the impact of poor health on daily life, covering areas such as employment, household activities, social life, relationships, sexual life, hobbies, and vacations. The first section's total score ranges from 0-600, with higher scores indicating lower activity. The second section ranges from 0-7, with higher scores indicating lower activity. | through study completion, an average of 1 year |
| Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales (TAPES) | The TAPES questionnaire evaluates psychosocial adaptation, functionality, and prosthesis satisfaction. It comprises two main sections with nine subscales. The psychosocial subscales include general adaptation, social adaptation, and restriction adaptation, with each rated on a five-point scale (1: Strongly Disagree to 5: Strongly Agree). Scores range from 5 to 25, with higher scores indicating better adaptation. | through study completion, an average of 1 year |
| Visual Analog Scale(VAS) | The VAS was used to measure pain in the stump before and after silicone prosthesis use. They were asked to draw their pain level on a 10 cm scale between 0-10 points as 0=no pain, 10 unbearable pain | through study completion, an average of 1 year |
