This cross-sectional study aims to analyse the aesthetic concern represented by body image, self-esteem and quality of life in patients with unilateral transtibial amputations of lower limbs compared to control group. People living with amputations present lower average levels than controls in all subscales of the SF-36 (Short Form 36 Health Survey) quality of life questionnaire, and in both the physical component summary and the mental component summary, although the difference is not statistically significant in the latter. These patients present a significantly lower mean score (p = 0.002) in the MBSRQ (Body-Self Relations Questionnaire) body image questionnaire: 2.64 ± 0.49 opposed to 3.16 ± 0.55 in controls. People living with amputations had a lower mean score on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem scale than controls (34.44 ± 4.61 v 36.04 ± 3.63). The results also show that amputation has a significant influence on the BI (Body image) of patients with unilateral transtibial amputations. SE (Self-Esteem) seems to be an aspect that is not significantly affected by lower limb amputation, although these patients scored a lower mean on the RSE scale compared to the control group. We consider it is highly relevant to assess QoL (Quality of life), BI and SE in patients after a lower limb amputation process. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/PID2019-108009RB-l00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 4.997 2021 MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES 19 / 74 = 0.257 2021 Q2 T1 1.005 2021 Multidisciplinary 2021 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Valero, José Deus, Javier Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-1253-3248 Casanova, Josefa Luesma, María José Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-4071-1467 Lahoz, Manuel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0595-719X 1003 027 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
