| Popis: | Until recently, no study had compared the quality of life of persons with transfemoral amputation treated with osseointegration to socket prosthesis users.Comparison of quality of life in two types of prostheses users: a cohort of patients with osseointegration and patients equipped with a socket prosthesis who were group-matched for age, body mass index and mobility grade.A cross-sectional study that compared METHODS:: The quality of life of 39 participants (22 in the osseointegration group and 17 in the socket prosthesis group) was measured using the Questionnaire for Persons with Transfemoral Amputation (Q-TFA) and European Questionnaire 5-dimension 3-level (EQ-5D-3L) surveys.Compared with the socket prosthesis group, the osseointegration group had a significantly higher 'Global' score (p = 0.022) and a significantly lower 'Problem' score (p 0.001) of the Q-TFA. The 'Mobility' (p = 0.051) and 'Use' scores (p = 0.146) of the Q-TFA, the EQ-5D-3L index (p = 0.723), and EQ-5D visual analog scale (p = 0.497) showed no significant differences between groups.Patients with osseointegration experienced less prosthesis-associated problems than socket prosthesis users and had a higher prosthesis-associated quality of life when assessed with the Q-TFA. General quality of life, as assessed with the EQ-5D-3L, was not different between groups. |
