Interventions encompassed virtual reality, resistance training, neuromuscular and muscular electrical stimulation, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, dual-task training, harness-supported treadmill training, behavioural change interventions, education, motor imagery and comprehensive protocols. Resistance training and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation were associated with significant improvements in fall risk, comprehensive protocols with a significant decrease in fall incidence and preoperative education with improved balance. A meta-analysis of 10 articles revealed that virtual reality significantly improved balance confidence but had no significant impact on measures of fall risk or balance.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Preliminary, low-certainty evidence suggests that combining comprehensive protocols, resistance training, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and preoperative education may offer benefits for fall-related outcomes in people with lower-limb amputation. However, given the low to very low evidence certainty and high risk of bias across most studies, these findings must be interpreted cautiously and considered exploratory, not conclusive.
