=== Negative social implications ===
Prosthetics play a vital role in how a person perceives themselves and how other people perceive them. The ability to conceal such use enabled participants to ward off social stigmatization that in turn enabled their social integration and the reduction of emotional problems surrounding such disability.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Murray |first=Craig D. |date=May 2005 |title=The social meanings of prosthesis use |url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15857872/#:~:text=It%20is%20concluded%20that%20prosthesis,emotional%20problems%20surrounding%20such%20disability |journal=Journal of Health Psychology |volume=10 |issue=3 |pages=425–441 |doi=10.1177/1359105305051431 |issn=1359-1053 |pmid=15857872}}</ref> People that lose a limb first have to deal with the emotional result of losing that limb. Regardless of the reasons for amputation, whether due to traumatic causes or as a consequence of illness, emotional shock exists. It may have a smaller or larger amplitude depending on a variety of factors such as patient age, medical culture, medical cause, etc. As a result of amputation, the research participants' reports were loaded with drama. The first emotional response to amputation was one of despair, a severe sense of self-collapse, something almost unbearable.<ref name=":8">{{Cite journal |last1=Roșca |first1=Andra Cătălina |last2=Baciu |first2=Cosmin Constantin |last3=Burtăverde |first3=Vlad |last4=Mateizer |first4=Alexandru |date=2021-05-26 |title=Psychological Consequences in Patients With Amputation of a Limb.

Many people who lose a limb may have lots of anxiety surrounding prosthetics and their limbs. After surgery, for an extended period of time, the interviewed patients from the National Library of Medicine noticed the appearance and increase of anxiety. A lot of negative thoughts invaded their minds. Projections about the future were grim, marked by sadness, helplessness, and even despair. Existential uncertainty, lack of control, and further anticipated losses in one's life due to amputation were the primary causes of anxiety and consequently ruminations and insomnia.<ref name=":8" /> From losing a leg and getting a prosthetics there were also many factors that can happen including anger and regret. The amputation of a limb is associated not only with physical loss and change in body image but also with an abrupt severing in one's sense of continuity. For participants with amputation as a result of physical trauma the event is often experienced as a transgression and can lead to frustration and anger.<ref name=":8" />
