Evaluating Mobility Interventions in the Real World
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Lower limb prostheses and Orthoses for Drop-foot for Lower Limb Amputation and Drop Foot. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is intended to test the comparative biomechanical benefits of different lower-limb prostheses and orthoses using data collected over extended periods of everyday life using wearable sensors. Investigators seek to improve physical health, functional activity level, independence, workforce participation, and mental health in participants with lower limb amputation and other lower-limb impairments. Investigators seek to study the similarities and differences in participants' movement using prostheses and orthoses with different technological features or designs. Study team also seek to develop technologies that enhance the methods for using wearable sensor technology to perform this type of study. Participants with lower-limb amputation, participants who use lower limb orthoses, and participants with drop-foot (including a specific group with Multiple Sclerosis).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Standard commercially available prostheses for participants with lower-limb amputation. Specific prostheses will be determined at the time of the study, but they will include prostheses that are fully passive such as energy storage-and-return (ESR, Agilix) feet and low-profile foot (LP, Pacifica LP), ESR feet with mobilized ankles such as passive hydraulic ankles (PHA, Kinterra), and ESR feet with microprocessor-controlled ankles (MPA, Kinnex).
Standard commercially-available orthoses or standard-of-care custom orthoses as well as standard commercially-available electrical stimulation neuro-orthoses. Sprystep for the caAFO, Bioness L300 Go for the FES
