Abstrakt		Occupational therapy is a treatment that helps individuals to achieve independence in all areas of their lives. It gives people the "skills for the job of living" which they need in order to live a satisfying life. The principal goal of occupational therapy for persons after amputation is to achieve optimal independence in everyday activities such as eating, self-care, household activities, hobbies etc. Occupational therapy is aimed at restoring lost functions and thus helping the individual to become as self-sufficient as possible in the activities of daily living. Although occupation is often oriented towards an end product, outcome or something that we do (e.g. work, play, selfcare), it actually relates to the action, the process or the doing of something (e.g. working, playing, dressing the prosthesis). Occupational performance, therefore, refers to the engagement in a course of actions or performances that comprise the process of working, the process of playing, the process of dressing - performing occupations or actions in the course of time. The reasons for an amputation are an injury, a systemic disease or congenital limb deficiencies and malformation. Different approaches are favored in different situations. The role of an occupational therapist is to identify and focus on the specific needs of different groups in terms of age, physical capacity and prognosis. At first, the occupational therapist collects information about the patient. Then he or she analyzes and assesses the information. Occupational therapy consists of: preprosthetic training, prosthetic training, application and training with the prosthesis, teaching of the activities of daily living and making functional hand orthoses when the patient needs them. It is usually necessary to offer advice to the patient or relatives on how to adapt his or her home and work environment. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters).
