Utilization of orthoses and assistive devices among a national sample of lower limb orthosis users.

Introduction: Lower limb orthoses (LLOs) and assistive devices (ADs) can be used together or separately to improve mobility when performing daily activities. The goal of this study was to examine utilization of LLOs and ADs in a national sample of adult LLO users.

Methods: A survey was designed to ask participants whether they typically use their LLOs and/or ADs to perform 20 daily activities.

Development and initial validation of the Orthotic Patient-Reported Outcomes-Mobility (OPRO-M): An item bank for evaluating mobility of people who use lower-limb orthoses.

Lower limb orthoses (LLOs) are externally-applied leg braces that are designed to improve or maintain mobility in people with a variety of health conditions that affect lower limb function. Clinicians and researchers are therefore often motivated to measure LLO users' mobility to select or assess the effectiveness of these devices. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) can provide insights into important aspects of a LLO user's mobility for these purposes.

Development of an item bank for measuring prosthetic mobility in people with lower limb amputation: The Prosthetic Limb Users Survey of Mobility (PLUS-M).

Background: Achieving mobility with a prosthesis is a common post-amputation rehabilitation goal and primary outcome in prosthetic research studies. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) available to measure prosthetic mobility have practical and psychometric limitations that inhibit their use in clinical care and research.

Objective: To develop a brief, clinically meaningful, and psychometrically robust PROM to measure prosthetic mobility.

Microprocessor feet improve prosthetic mobility and physical function relative to non-microprocessor feet.

The clinical benefits associated with the microprocessor regulation of prosthetic ankle position and resistance have largely been reported through manufacturer conducted research in controlled laboratory environments. Measures with greater ecological validity are needed. This study aimed to understand if there are differences in physical function and mobility outcomes as patients transitioned from a non-Microprocessor to Microprocessor Feet.
