ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
High-tech prostheses are supposed to achieve better functional recovery over mechanical-controlled prostheses in lower-limb amputees. However, quantitative data are insufficient.OBJECTIVE:
We aimed to evaluate changes in quality of life, life satisfaction, perception of body image, and functional performance of lower-limb amputees when using a mechanical-controlled prosthesis versus a microprocessor-controlled knee (MPK) or transtibial vacuum-assisted suspension system (VASS) prosthesis.METHODS:
In this pragmatic study, 57 lower-limb amputees were assessed with the Satisfaction with the Prosthesis Questionnaire (SATPRO), revised Amputee Body Image Scale (ABIS-R), Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales (TAPES), Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36) and 6-min walk test (6MWT). All assessments were performed under 2 conditions (i.e., using a mechanical-controlled prosthesis vs. an MPK/VASS prosthesis.RESULTS:
Amputees who used an MPK/VASS prosthesis showed significant increases in all SF-36 subscale scores and all subscale scores of TAPES except adjustment to limitation (P=0.156). The amputees showed clinically relevant improvements in 6MWT (P<0.001) and in SATPRO and ABIS-R scores (P<0.001).CONCLUSION:
Lower-limb amputees using an MPK/VASS prosthesis had better life satisfaction, quality of life and functional performance than those using a mechanical-controlled prosthesis.Palavras-chave
