5.5.9 ITEM20 EMPLOYMENTIDSTORY This item was included to identifY the exact number ofrespondents who were employed before amputation and the type ofwork they were doing. FIGURE 5.6 EMPLOYMENTHISrORY Figure 5.6 shows that (18) 72% amputees were employed before amputation and only (7) 28% were not employed. This is a big challenge as all amputees who were working before injury need to be rehabilitated in such a way that theyreturn to their old work, which is stiI1 a problem due to lack ofrehabilitation resources in the community. Even those who were unemployed before amputation require to be rehabilitated in such a way that they are productive to promote independence. Mets and Wilson (1990:258) stress that physically disabled persons should be prepared for suitable employment in the open labour market, by educating and training them in the work place that resembles the realistic work situation as much as possible. 5.5.10 ITEM21 WORKASSESSMENT Worle assessment is an important aspect ofrehabilitation to make sure that amputees are placed correctly and where they are going to be productive without any complication to the physical status ofthe amputees.
