There are around 800 lower limb amputations performed each year in Scotland, however one unpublished study showed that 20% of fitted transtibial amputees do not use, and 20% only occasionally use, their prosthesis at one-year follow-up. This finding has implications for patients' well-being and healthcare cost efficiency. Leventhal's common sense self-regulation model (CS-SRM), a social cognition model in health psychology, was used to determine if psychological variables would predict prosthetic use and activity limitations in lower limb amputees.
