A study of 194 male lower extremity amputees, with an average age of 56.8 years, showed that vascular disease is the most common cause of limb loss at all ages. Increasing age was correlated with an increasing incidence of bilateral amputation and arteriosclerotic and pulmonary problems, lower goals and levels of achievement, increased mortality during therapy, fewer amputees who were able to return home, an increased number of aids (cane, crutches, wheelchair), and a longer rehabilitation period. Many patients over age 65 required nearly a year of rehabilitation to achieve maximum benefit.
