Résumé : |
Objective To determine whether differences in physical function, assessed via self-report questionnaires and physical performance tests, exist between individuals with lower-limb loss using a prosthetic device classified as a K3 versus a K4 functional level. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting A university physical therapy amputee clinic. Participants Participants (N=55) were included if they (1) were aged ≥18 years with a unilateral transfemoral or transtibial amputation; (2) were classified as K3 or K4 functional level; (3) completed all relevant outcome measures; and (4) were currently using a prosthesis. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Locomotor Capabilities Index (LCI), Prosthetic Evaluation QuestionnaireMobility Section (PEQ-MS), Timed Up and Go (TUG), 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT), Amputee Mobility Predictor (AMPPRO), and 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT). K level was determined by group consensus based on a standardized clinical evaluation. Results After controlling for covariates, patients classified as K3 had slower TUG times (P=.002) and self-selected and fast gait speeds (P<.001 lower amppro scores and walked shorter distances during the when compared with patients classified as k4. no significant between-group differences for lci or peq-ms were found.> Conclusions Clinicians involved in prosthetic prescription may consider including the TUG, 10MWT, AMPPRO, and 6MWT during their clinical evaluations to help differentiate between individuals of higher functional mobility. The LCI and PEQ-MS may be less useful in classifying individuals as K3 versus K4 because of a ceiling effect. |
