Official title
Effects of a Powered Ankle-Foot Prosthesis and Device-Specific Physical Therapy on Function and Pain for Individuals Living With Transfemoral Limb Loss
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Individuals living with Transfemoral Amputation, enrolled equally at the Veterans Affairs New York Harbor Healthcare System (VANYHHS) and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC), will be fit with a powered ankle-foot prosthesis. All subjects will undergo a full gait analysis, functional measures, neurocognitive/cognitive, and pain assessment at baseline utilizing their current passive prosthesis. Subjects will then be randomly assigned into 2 equal groups: Powered device with an 8-session intensive, device-specific PT intervention (Group A); or powered device with current standard of practice (Group B), with includes basic device education, but no PT intervention. Subjects in Group A will undergo a 4-week PT-based intervention, which will isolate the contribution of device specific effects from rehabilitation effects. Group B will receive the current standard of practice, which does not include any formal rehabilitation. All users will undergo a full gait analysis, functional measures, neurocognitive/cognitive, and pain assessment after 4- and 8-weeks of use.
