The study examined a unique group of traumatic bilateral lower limb amputees who were young and healthy before having traumatic amputations from a single episode of natural disaster. The factors associated with better functional recovery after the earthquake were investigated and may support future development of post-disaster rehabilitation strategies for bilateral lower limb amputees.
