An Immediate Fit, Adjustable, Modular Prosthetic System for Addressing World-Wide Limb Loss Disability.

Prosthetic services and resources globally are insufficient to meet the needs of individuals with lower limb loss worldwide, particularly in low resource countries. The lack of trained prosthetists, high cost, and inaccessibility of prosthetic services leave many patients in these countries without a prosthesis. To address this problem, an immediate fit, adjustable, modular, prosthetic system was developed.

Improved Self-Reported Comfort, Stability, and Limb Temperature Regulation with an Immediate Fit, Adjustable Transtibial Prosthesis.

Objective: The purpose of this investigation was to assess participants' self-reported satisfaction with an adjustable, immediate fit transtibial prosthetic system as compared to their conventionally fabricated prosthetic device.

Design: A prospective study involving a two-week single-group pre-post intervention design.

Setting: Physical medicine and rehabilitation clinic of a university hospital.

A Prospective Assessment of an Adjustable, Immediate Fit, Transtibial Prosthesis.

Background: There exists a need for an adjustable socket to accommodate residual limb volume and shape changes. Further, limb loss rates globally are rising and there is a large unmet need for affordable and accessible prosthetic systems.

Objective: To assess the utility of an immediate fit modular prosthetic system (iFIT Prosthetics, LLC).
