Official title
A Comparison of External Mechanical Work Between Bionic and Conventional Prosthetic Feet in Transtibial Amputees During Functional Activities
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Recent dysvascular and diabetic amputees as well as older, long-term traumatic amputees are at risk of functional decline, joint degeneration, skin breakdown and further limb loss due to the forces placed on the contralateral limb through prosthetic ambulation. If specialized prosthetic gait training and proper use of the appropriate prosthetic foot can decrease forces on the intact limb, the long term health and quality of life of veterans with amputations could be substantially improved. We will address two key questions: Key Question 1: After receiving specialized gait training and a new prosthetic socket, will subjects demonstrate differences in gait symmetry and external mechanical work between the bionic and conventional prosthetic feet, while performing various functional activities. Key Question 2: Can external mechanical work be used as a clinically friendly measure to differentiate between prosthetic feet?
