Title:
Monitoring Prosthetic and Orthotic Function in the Community
Report Date:
2022-10-01
Abstract:
The activity level of these service members (SMs) and how it relates to their injury, prosthetics/orthotic prescription, and ability to return to work is not well understood. There is a need to better understand how lower limb prosthesis or orthosis users function in the community outside the lab to inform clinical decisions. The goal of this project is to verify a portable monitoring systems ability to measure prosthetic and orthotic function in the community and in return to duty situations. This project addresses the FY20 OPORP focus area of prosthetic and orthotic device function by testing a portable monitoring system that can be used in community and military relevant activities to analyze variables that are relevant to measuring patient outcomes and prosthetic/orthotic use outside of a laboratory or clinic.
