After a period of existential adjustment, prosthesis users described themselves as living active, fulfilling lives. This was facilitated to a large extent by social interactions with other prosthesis users and access to information they perceived as relevant. Social media plays a particularly important role in establishing connections with other prosthesis users and is perceived as a useful source of information.
