由于整个连续体的碎片化，截肢者在美国医疗保健系统中迷失了方向。失去肢体的糖尿病患者通过医疗保健系统的旅程甚至比外伤截肢者的旅程更加不稳定。解决这些继发性疾病并改善残疾人健康和结果的干预措施侧重于标准医疗治疗，例如药物或身体康复治疗，往往排除社会心理干预措施。截肢康复团队的每位成员在肢体丧失者的护理和康复中都发挥着特定而重要的作用。
The amputee gets lost in the American health care system because of fragmentation across the continuum. The journey of the diabetic patient with limb loss through the health care system is even more precarious than that of the traumatic amputee. Interventions to address these secondary conditions and improve the health and outcomes of persons with disability have focused on standard medical treatments, such as medication or physical rehabilitation therapies, often to the exclusion of psychosocial interventions. Each member of the amputee rehabilitation team plays a specific and important role in the care and recovery of the person with limb loss.
