Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Comparative Analysis Between College Park Sidekick Feet and Conventional Stubby Prosthesis (NCT NCT02921295)

NCT ID: NCT02921295

Last Updated: 2018-06-21

Results Overview

The participant is timed while covering a 10-m distance unassisted (running start). The average speed is then calculated for each pass (one with each set of prosthetic feet), using the equation 10m/(recorded time in seconds). The average speed is computed as it is more reliable and representative than the instantaneous gait speed that may not be consistently maintained during the 10-m walk.

The average speed is then calculated for each pass (one with each set of prosthetic feet), using the equation 10m/(recorded time in seconds). The average speed is computed as it is more reliable and representative than the instantaneous gait speed that may not be consistently maintained during the 10-m walk.

The test, as described in the protocol form, is performed three times with each intervention. This allows averaging to reduce the risk of random errors in timing the exercise. Accordingly, the participant is asked to repeat (with resting breaks in between) the tests three times with the stubbies and three times with the sidekicks.

Left/Right Step Duration Ratio. Perfect gait symmetry would result in a ratio of 1.000. Any deviation would indicate that step lengths differ between legs, indicating a more or less pronounced limping. The measure is computed from the intermediary step sample of gait with each intervention. This allows averaging to reduce the risk of random errors in assessment. Step samples were extracted from walking trial data with the stubbies and with the sidekicks. Each walking trial contains more than 30 individual steps for analysis.
