Abstract

The study of amputee patients' rehabilitation focuses on applying a program of muscular strength that allows them to achieve better levels of gait and balance. This article approaches its implementation. In this regard, theoretical and methodological foundations were analyzed regarding the physico-rehabilitative treatment of such patients. The experimental design supported measuring and statistical-mathematical methods. The sample consisted of 30 patients from four primary health care comprehensive rehabilitation centers from Cerro, Havana. The sample is chosen randomly through the selection procedure called "tombola" and was divided into two similar groups of 15 each; they were both monitored, one as the control group and the other as the experimental one. The main results confirmed that all patients showed improvements in the variables studied. In this regard, was recognized the effectiveness of conventional treatment and the superiority of the experimental treatment.
