The lower limb amputees aged between 18-57 years, and using prosthesis from more than four months were included in the study. The level of mobility was measured through Self-reporting Prosthetic Limb User Survey of Mobility (SF-PLUS-M) questionnaire, while Prosthetic Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ) was used to determine the Quality of Life (QOL) among prosthesis users. This data was analyzed by SPSS version 21. Results: The mean age of study participants was 43±14.89 years. The mean PLUS-M score was 39.48±14.33. The results showed a positive significant association between level of mobility and quality of life in lower limb amputees (p<0.001).
