Child Amputees - Like everything, children adapt better to loss of a limb than any other age group, however, the prosthesis must be fitted early on.

Adult Amputees - It is difficult for adults to go though amputation because of the loss of employment, however now there are agencies helping disabled workers.

Elderly Amputees - Elder amputees have more problems than most amputees because of the cause of amputation and because of the fragile older body.

Athletic Amputees - Amputees are encouraged to exercise both for rehabilitation and to stay fit. Now there are many competitive sports for the disabled.
