Abstract     Diabetes mellitus causes macro- and microcirculatory damage which leads to the diabetic foot syndrome and may result in amputation. The goal of rehabilitation following amputation of the lower limb is to regain as much as possible the psychophysical and social status that the patient had before the amputation and to develop the patient's other capabilities. The success of rehabilitation depends on the patients' cooperation as well as on the level of amputation.
Summary     Sladkorna bolezen povzroča okvaro makro- in mikrocirkulacije, s tem prizadene arterijsko prekrvitev spodnjih udov; pripelje do razvoja diabetične noge, kar v končni fazi lahko privede do amputacije. Cilj rehabiltacije po amputaciji spodnjega uda je približati se psihofizičnemu in socialnemu stanju bolnika pred amputacijo in čimbolj razviti bolnikove preostale sposobnosti. Za uspešno rehabilitacijo je bistveno bolnikovo sodelovanje v rehabilitacijskem programu, na izid rehabilitacije pa pomembno vpliva tudi raven amputacije spodnjega uda.
