Standard Deviation 6.9

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Accommodation with knee systems is approximately 90 days. This test takes less than 1hr to complete.

Simulation of 10 activities of daily living (i.e. donning a shirt, sweeping, walking stairs). Measured in units of time, distance and mass to provide a singular, continuous scaled score of function (from 0-100). A score of 100 is the maximal score and indicates the highest level of independent function where a score of 0 indicates the poorest score. Persons scoring lower scores will likely be at increased risk of dependency with daily function.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Based on preliminary experience with the intervention, accommodation can range from 2 weeks to 3 months. Assessment will be scheduled within 2 weeks following accommodation.

Balance and stability will be assessed for limits of stability using the Biodex SD. The limit of stability score is a scaled score with a possible range of 0 (worst possible outcome) to 100 (best possible outcome)based on variability of the trajectory of the center of mass while weight shifting on a force platform.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Based on preliminary experience with the intervention, accommodation can range from 2 weeks to 3 months. Assessment will be scheduled within 2 weeks following accommodation.

The Prosthetics Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ) was used as a validated survey to solicit participants' subjective experience and feedback regarding prosthesis-related function and quality of life. PEQ domains are ordinally scaled from 0 (worst or most negative feeling/response) to 7 (best or most positive feeling/response).
