What is this trial about?
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the impact of virtual reality on rehabilitation
for the patients after a major amputation.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does the virtual-reality-assisted rehabilitation improve the life quality of patients
(i.e. lesser pain, better spirit)?
- Does the virtual-reality-assisted rehabilitation improve the daily life function of the
patients? Participants will received a virtual-reality-assisted rehabilitation on the
second postoperative day for ten days. The rehabilitation would be carried out two times
per day and 30 minutes per training.
