Brief Summary

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

The study investigated the perceived-mobility of patients with unilateral lower limb amputations by means of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Such aspect may play an important role in evaluating the patient impairment and addressing forensic-medical issues. However, to this concern, the use of PROMs has not been extensively investigated yet. Among the validated PROMs, the study assessed self-perceived mobility and quality of life by administering the Trinity Amputation Prosthetic Evaluation Survey (TAPES) and the more recent Prosthetic Mobility Questionnaire (PMQ). The aim of this observational study was to improve the estimation of the physical and psychological impairment caused by the amputation, focusing on the impact of the limb loss on social participation, quality of life and daily living activities.
