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.
