简要总结
The purpose of this industry-initiated research study is to test that a powered microprocessor controlled knee improves metabolic function during walking in level and sloped conditions as compared to the subject's physician prescribed prosthesis.
详细描述
The Procedures include:
Initial Visit:
- Informed consent
- HIPAA authorization
- Determine/verify ambulation potential
- Take and record body measurements (height, weight, circumferences)
- Activities-Specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale
- L.A.S.A.R. Posture alignment assessment with RxPx
Second Visit
- Fit with heartrate monitor and metabolic analyzer mask
- Treadmill Test (level-ground) with RxPx
- Rest
- Treadmill Test (incline) with RxPx
- Fit subject with PMPK
- L.A.S.A.R. Posture alignment assessment with PMPK
- Subject uses PMPK for one week as their primary prosthesis
