This special collection focuses on the Limb Injury Measurement Battery for Quality of Life (LIMB-QOL), a comprehensive patient-reported outcome system designed to assess multiple dimensions of functioning in individuals with limb loss and severe extremity trauma. The LIMB-QOL system addresses physical, emotional, and social aspects of health and was developed through a major collaborative initiative supported by the U.S. Department of Defense.
The collection welcomes foundational research manuscripts that introduce the LIMB-QOL measurement system to the scientific and clinical communities. Submissions should contribute to understanding the development, implementation, and application of this measurement system for evaluating outcomes in individuals experiencing major extremity injuries.
