Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

iFIT Prosthetics, LLC® created and commercialized a modular, immediate fit, fully adjustable, prosthetic system suitable for mass production using high strength injection molded polymer materials. The aim of this project is to assess the design, user satisfaction and feasibility of this device. The investigators will be fitting transtibial and transfemoral amputees with the iFIT prosthetic system. Patients will wear the device for 2 weeks in order to compare the device to their own prosthetic (if they currently have one). They will report any device breakages or adverse events. They will also fill out a questionnaire to determine if the iFIT prosthetic is a feasible option for treating patients with limb loss.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Transtibial Testing

This is a feasibility and effectiveness study to assess the iFIT transtibial prosthesis as a viable alternative to a traditional prosthesis. We also hope to gain information that will influence future design iterations.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

iFIT Transtibial Prosthesis

Intervention Type DEVICE

Transtibial amputee volunteers will be fit with the iFIT device and instructed on its use. Patient will wear the iFIT device for a two week time period according to a provided wear schedule. At the end of this time patient will rate it for comfort, stability and ease of use.

Transfemoral Testing

This is a feasibility and effectiveness study to assess the iFIT transfemoral prosthesis as a viable alternative to a traditional prosthesis. We also hope to gain information that will influence future design iterations.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

iFIT Transfemoral Prosthesis

Intervention Type DEVICE

Transfemoral amputee volunteers will be fit with the iFIT device and instructed on its use. Patient will wear the iFIT device for a two week time period according to a provided wear schedule. At the end of this time patient will rate it for comfort, stability and ease of use.
