Falls occur in 50% of community-dwelling adults following lower limb amputation (LLA). This presentation discusses baseline predictors of future recurrent falls among adults with unilateral LLA who utilize prostheses. Clinical assessment of these risk factors is recommended to mitigate future falls.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participant will be able to define multisite pain.
Upon completion, participant will be able to list baseline predictive factors in future recurrent fall risk.
Upon completion, participant will be able to recognize the impact of multisite pain on prosthetic clinical outcomes.
