Amputees’ Attitudes Toward Participation in Amputee Support Groups and the Role of Virtual Technology in Supporting Amputees: Survey Study

Amputees’ Attitudes Toward Participation in Amputee Support Groups and the Role of Virtual Technology in Supporting Amputees: Survey Study

Winkler et al [11] tested the use of a virtual environment to provide self-management information including skill development to amputees. Figure 1 A shows how a computer is used to access the virtual world via the internet. Figure 1 B shows the virtual world built for Winkler’s previous study [11]. Amputees had the opportunity to view themselves as an avatar, practicing desired behaviors such as balance (Figure 1 C) and providing information on the history of prosthetics (Figure 1 D).
