The study organized the complex interactions of fall history and
prosthetic mobility in community-ambulating people with lower-limb
amputations by recording self-reported fall rates and fall circumstances
in a cross-section of people with unilateral lower-limb amputations due
to nondysvascular causes.
Self-report and performance-based standardized outcome measures
assessed prosthetic mobility and balance confidence. The research team
considered all variables and placed them within a proposed International
Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health framework while
using a fall-type classification framework to classify fall circumstances.
