Computer search results

SEPTEMBER 2009

The NLLIC provides results of a monthly search on amputation and related topics from National Library of Medicine's PubMed© on the web. The purpose of this list is to highlight professional literature on the subject of amputation. If you would like to receive this list via email, contact Molly Moore at library@amputee-coalition.org.

Search topics include cancer, congenital limb deficiency, diabetes, dysvascular disease, outcomes research, prosthetics and orthotics, psychology, rehabilitation, surgery, trauma and secondary conditions such as pain, obesity, emotional recovery, and smoking.

More resources are also available on the Amputee Coalition web site's online library, an invaluable resource for amputees, medical professionals, and others with limb loss that are seeking specific information.
