截肢者对外观的满意度以及他们对外观设计的重视程度尚未在文献中发表。调查英国截肢者目前对美容的满意度，以及美容设计属性的重要性，以告知未来的美容设计重新设计。横断面问卷调查。在联合王国，对下肢截肢者进行了药物治疗。满意度评分和整体重要性排名的美容功能进行了计算。在显著性水平p = 0.05下，使用Fisher精确检验（单侧）检验两个人口统计学、满意度或重要性变量之间的统计学显著性关系。49%至64%的受访者对美容功能表示中立或不满意（9个功能中有5个功能的比例超过50%）。确定的三个最重要的特征是形状匹配的美容健全的肢体，自由的假肢关节运动的美容和自然适合的服装的美容。结果表明，目前英国截肢者的美容满意度水平低于医疗器械行业和临床社区的期望。由样本识别出的最重要的美观特征可用于指导未来的美观设计研究。这些发现将使医疗器械行业能够改善对截肢者重要的领域的美容设计。研究结果还反驳了临床医生持有的轶事观点，为他们提供了一个机会来评估他们所持有的任何先入之见，以及这可能如何影响他们的临床工作。
Amputee satisfaction with cosmesis and the importance they place on cosmesis design have not been published in the literature. To investigate the current satisfaction levels of amputees in the United Kingdom with their cosmesis and the importance placed on attributes of cosmesis design to inform future cosmesis redesign. Cross-sectional questionnaire study. Questionnaires were administered to lower limb amputees in the United Kingdom. Satisfaction scores and the overall importance ranking of cosmesis features were calculated. Statistically significant relationships between two demographic, satisfaction or importance variables were tested using Fisher’s exact tests (one-tailed) at a significance level p = 0.05. Between 49% and 64% of respondents reported neutral or dissatisfied opinions with the cosmesis features (greater than 50% for five of the nine features). The three most important features identified were shape matching the cosmesis to the sound limb, free prosthetic joint movement underneath the cosmesis and natural fit of clothing over the cosmesis. The results indicate that current cosmesis satisfaction levels of amputees in the United Kingdom are below what the medical device industry and clinical community would desire. The most important cosmesis features identified by the sample can be used to direct future cosmesis design research. The findings will enable the medical device industry to improve cosmesis design in the areas that are important to amputees. The findings also counter anecdotal opinions held by clinicians, providing an opportunity for them to evaluate any preconceptions they harbour and how this might influence their clinical work.
