[AMP-L] Examining Fall History and Prosthetic Mobility

[Wayne Renardson]

via The O&P Edge:

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.
