Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to identify the intervention components, key actors and models of social innovation that can contribute to the improvement of health rehabilitation services from a biopsychosocial perspective, aimed at people with lower limb amputation in a situation of disability. Likewise, it aims to analyze the ways in which Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) facilitates the elimination of barriers in rehabilitation services and promotes a better quality of life for people with disabilities. A systematic review of scientific literature for the period 2001 to 2019 was carried out, starting with a bibliometric analysis of publications found in the Web of Science and Scopus databases; followed by content analysis with NVivo 12 software. Among the findings, it was identified that the optimization of health services for the population with disabilities in emerging countries requires investment and training. In addition, the success and deficiencies in CBR programs were analyzed, since according to the systematic review, these are limited to the care of people with lower limb amputation in contexts of armed conflict.
