研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to compare the College Park Sidekicks to conventional stubby prosthetics to investigate their effects on bilateral above-knee-amputee gait velocity, exertion, and balance. The investigators aim to demonstrate that: (i) greater balance will be observed and reported on a level and gravel surface with the Sidekicks; (ii) time to complete the 10-meter walk test will be decreased wearing Sidekicks compared to the conventional stubby prosthesis; and (iii) subjects will report feeling less exerted with the sidekicks.

- •bilateral transfemoral amputee
- •own a pair of conventional stubby prosthesis with standard adaptation
排除标准
- •dependence on assistive walking device or wheelchair (may use devices occasionally but should be able to ambulate without them)
- •use of prosthesis that do not allow change of feet with standard adapters
- •any medical condition that may put an individual in greater risk of injury than normal daily activity.
研究组 & 干预措施
Sidekick Stubbies
Conventional Stubby prostheses were used for baseline measures. In the sequential crossover design, articulated stubby prostheses ("Sidekick" manufactured by College Park Ind.) were used as intervention
干预措施: Sidekick Stubbies (Device)
结局指标
主要结局
Average Speed for 10 Meter Walk Test
时间窗: 2 times throughout study completion (every 1 hour during the 2 hour protocol)
The participant is timed while covering a 10-m distance unassisted (running start). The average speed is then calculated for each pass (one with each set of prosthetic feet), using the equation 10m/(recorded time in seconds). The average speed is computed as it is more reliable and representative than the instantaneous gait speed that may not be consistently maintained during the 10-m walk.
次要结局
- Timed up and go Test Time(6 times throughout study completion (3 every 1 hour during the 2 hour protocol))
- Gait Symmetry Index(2 times throughout study completion (every 1 hour during the 2 hour protocol))
