| Popis: | OBJECTIVE: To determine if 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: University of Delaware Physical Therapy Amputee Clinic. PARTICIPANTS: Participants (n=55) were included if they were aged ≥18 years with a unilateral transfemoral or transtibial amputation, classified as K3 or K4 functional level, completed all relevant outcome measures, and currently were using a prosthesis. INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Locomotor Capabilities Index (LCI), Prosthetic Evaluation Questionnaire-Mobility 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 |
