Prosthetic Comfort and Utility Questionnaire (Version 1) Primary · 2 weeks

This questionnaire is based off of the Prosthetic Evaluation Questionnaire; it involves questions taken from the original that focus on comfort, satisfaction and utility of a prosthetic socket. We used numeric values from 1 (Poor) through 5 (Excellent) for evaluation. This version featured seven questions for a total of 35 points possible and the lowest score being 7 (higher scores are better). Scores are reported as total with standard deviations.

This questionnaire is based off of the Prosthetic Evaluation Questionnaire; it involves questions taken from the original that focus on comfort, satisfaction and utility of a prosthetic socket. We used numeric values from 1 (Poor) through 5 (Excellent) for evaluation. This version features fourteen questions for a total of 70 points total, with the lowest score being 14. Higher scores are better. Scores are reported as total with standard deviations.

Gait Analysis - Double Support Secondary · 2 weeks

Double support is the amount of time that both feet are touching the ground during walking. A faster gait will correlate with lower values since less time is spent with both feet on the ground; consequently, a slower gait will yield higher values.

Gait Analysis - Limp Index Secondary · 2 weeks

Limp index is a temporal parameter used in gait analysis to describe symmetry when walking. For a symmetric walk, the limp index is exactly one; values significantly higher or lower than 1 denote greater asymmetry. It is calculated by using the total support (single + double) for the current foot divided by the total support for the opposite foot.

Sponsor's own description

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.
