Objective: To develop a multidimensional self-report instrument to better understand the experience of amputation and adjustment to a lower limb prosthesis. Design: One hundred four participants completed a mail questionnaire consisting of 3 sections: psychosocial issues, activity restriction, and satisfaction with a prosthesis. Results: Factor analysis revealed 3 psychosocial subscales (General Adjustment, Social Adjustment, and Adjustment to Limitation), 3 activity restriction subscales (Functional Restriction, Social Restriction, and Athletic Activity Restriction), and 3 satisfaction subscales (Functional Satisfaction, Aesthetic Satisfaction, and Weight Satisfaction). The subscales displayed high internal reliability, and preliminary evidence indicated various forms of validity. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales may be applied as a clinical and research tool.
