Longitudinal research in prosthetics is rare and adaptation to a new prosthetic socket has not previously been explored. In a current clinical trial exploring the benefits of the subischial (SI) socket for individuals with unilateral transfemoral amputation (TFA) and low (K2) mobility, longitudinal data was collected from a suite of patient reported outcome measures (PROM). This analysis explored adaptation to socket change using these PROMs
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participant will be able to describe when accommodation after prosthetic socket change occurs in individuals with unilateral transfemoral amputation.
Upon completion, participant will be able to describe which PROM exhibited the greatest change after a change in socket in individuals with unilateral transfemoral amputation.
Upon completion, participant will be able to describe the clinical trial from which this data was was drawn.
