Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Investigation (Beta) of Power Knee Mainstream - Dynamic (NCT NCT04787627)

NCT ID: NCT04787627

Last Updated: 2025-09-22

Results Overview

Mean difference in perceived exertion on the Borg rating scale of perceived exertion before and after 6 minute walk test (6MWT) (see outcome 2) with investigational device (Power Knee) compared to comparator (prescribed device). Subjects are asked how exerted they feel on a scale of 0-10 (0 indicating no exertion and 10 indicating the most exertion) at rest before they carry out the 6MWT, and after carrying out the 6MWT, the difference is recorded. The Borg Category Rating 10 scale (CR10) is a validated measure of perceived exertion.

Power Knee Before Prescribed Prosthesis
Power Knee, the investigational device is fitted on subjects and they use it as their primary prosthesis for 2 weeks before coming in for data collection on the device. After being on the investigational device for 2 weeks subjects go back on their prescribed prosthesis for 2 weeks and comparator data is collected. Power Knee: Powered microprocessor controlled prosthetic knee
Power Knee After Prescribed Prosthesis
Subjects start the study by using their prescribed prosthesis for 2 weeks, then they come in for data collection of comparator data, in that same visit they are fitted with the investigational device and wear that for 2 weeks before coming in for data collection on that device. Power Knee: Powered microprocessor controlled prosthetic knee

Support in sit to stand and stand to sit evaluation: Total score (minimum score 0 - maximum score 8) of Prosthetic Mobility Questionnaire (PMQ) questions 9 and 10 with investigational device (Power Knee) compared to comparator (prescribed knee): PMQ : Over the past 2 weeks, please rate your ability in the following activities when using your prosthesis (0=no ability, 4=fully able): * Question 9. To sit down and get up from a chair with a high seat (e.g. a dining chair, an office chair) * Question 10. To sit down and get up from a low, soft chair (e.g. a deep sofa) A higher total score on these PMQ items indicates a better outcome as it reflects greater functional ability, independence, and overall quality of life for individuals using a prosthesis. The total score is obtained by summing the scores from questions 9 and 10.

Ability to ambulate over typical environmental obstacles measured by the Prosthetic Limb Users Survey of Mobility (PLUS-M), T-score with Power Knee compared to comparator (prescribed device). The Prosthetic Limb Users Survey of Mobility™ is a self-report instrument for measuring mobility of adults with lower limb amputation. Scoring a PLUS-M short form produces a T-score. To find the T-score, the scores must be summed for all responses on the short form (creating a raw score). Then the raw score needs to be used to determine the T-score in the conversation table provided with the PLUS-M questionnaire. The T-score is a standardized score with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. A higher T-score indicates a higher level of mobility. The highest possible T-score is 71.4 and the lowest one is 21.8.

The L-Test of Functional Mobility consists of a series of movements designed to assess an individual's physical function and dynamic balance. The test involves the participant starting from a seated position, standing up, walking a short distance, turning, walking back, and returning to the seated position. The course typically forms an "L" shape, which includes two turns, and the total distance covered is longer than that of similar tests like the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. The outcome measure is the time taken to complete these movements, providing an objective evaluation of the participant's functional mobility. There is no fixed minimum or maximum; lower times indicate better performance (i.e., faster completion reflects greater mobility).

Combined Crossover Evaluation Group "Combined Crossover Evaluation Group"
n=11 Participants
For the analysis, data from both arms were combined. In Group 1, participants initially used the investigational device, with the second visit corresponding to its evaluation after two weeks of use, and evaluated their prescribed device during the third visit, also after two weeks of use. In Group 2, participants started with the prescribed device, evaluating it during the second visit after two weeks of use, and switched to the investigational device for the evaluation during the third visit, again after two weeks of use.
Subset of 6 Subjects Who Opted for a Prolonged Follow up Period
n=6 Participants
Out of the eleven subjects who completed the trial, six of them opted in for an optional extended follow up period on the investigational device, and fourth visit. No subjects were lost to follow up.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At baseline, after 2 weeks of either using the Power knee or their own prescription prosthesis, and at the fourth follow-up (at approximately weeks 22-16)

Population: Only 6 out of the 11 subjects decided to do a prolonged follow up period.

Average Prosthetic Mobility Questionnaire (PMQ) total score (minimum score 0 - maximum score 48) with investigational device (Power Knee) compared to comparator (prescribed device). The Prosthetic Mobility Questionnaire is a tool for assessing mobility in people with lower-limb amputation, higher score indicates better mobility performance.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: After 2 weeks of using the Power Knee

Population: For this outcome measure, side effects were assessed only after 2 weeks of Power Knee use. Although the study followed a crossover design, the timing or order in which participants used each device did not affect the evaluation of side effects. No side effect data were collected for the prescribed prosthesis; therefore, results are reported solely for the Power Knee group, reflecting all participants who completed the 2-week evaluation. Reporting by arm is not applicable for this outcome.

Evaluating the occurrence of side effects associated with the Power Knee entails systematically documenting and analyzing any adverse effects experienced by users throughout the 2 weeks of use.
