As a result of a recent medical study, it has been discovered that amputee women are more likely to suffer from an accident than before. This is especially worrying as accidents can lead to further health problems and a decrease in quality of life. To combat this, doctors and researchers are working on ways to provide better care and support to amputee women who experience accidents. This could involve providing them with counseling, physical therapy, and access to prosthetics, among other services.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of women with limb loss due to accidents has been steadily increasing. Within the United States alone, an estimated 6 million people have lost a limb due to either an accident or an illness and about 41 percent are women. Just under half of all amputations are due to traumatic events, such as car accidents. Women who have suffered limb loss due to an accident face a number of challenges, from physical to psychological.
