NCT ID: NCT03703232

Last Updated: 2024-06-21

Results Overview

Self-report questionnaire. PEQ Subscales: The PEQ is a 9-scale instrument that has good psychometric properties and has been validated. The PEQ subscales have a range from 0 (worst) to 100 (best). PEQ subscales of residual limb health, ambulation, utility, and sounds were selected for this study and comprise a total of 24 visual analogue scale questions. ICC estimates for these subscales for the first and second administration ranged from 0.79 to 0.9.

The intent of the CLASS is to provide greater insight into the cause of socket dissatisfaction compared to the Socket Comfort Score. To accomplish this, the CLASS includes 4 subcategories; 1) stability, 2) suspension, 3) comfort, and 4) appearance. Each subcategory contains 3-4 items scored using a 5-point scale that relate to common tasks such as standing, sitting, walking, and ascending and descending stairs. Scale range: 0-60 Values: 0 = worst outcome; 60 = best outcome Subscales:0-16

The F8W was developed to represent walking skills used in everyday life, involving straight and curved paths in both right and left directions. It has been validated in older adult populations with mobility disability. Subjects will begin the task standing between the 2 cones. The subject will walk a figure 8 course 3 times for each condition at their self-selected pace and stop when they return to the start position. The outcomes of the test are the time to complete the course.

The Narrowing Beam Walking Test was developed to measure balance in lower extremity amputees (LEA) and it was validated in LEPU with and without a history of falls. The test consists of walking across a beam that has 4, 6-foot long sections, each one more narrow than the previous one. The narrowing beam is 2" above the floor. Subjects must keep their arms crossed in front of their body to eliminate the use of their arms to maintain balance. The distance of the furthest point of contact from the start of the beam is used as the outcome for the test.
