Use of Physical Activity Measures in Rehabilitation Interventions Following Lower Extremity Amputation

Abstract Purpose of Review This systematic review aims to evaluate physical performance outcome tools that are used most frequently assess rehabilitation interventions. The scope this paper focused on outcomes with established lower limb amputees when assessing interventions such as exercise programs or changes in prescription published the last 5 years. Recent Findings recorded measures across all papers were timed walk tests and Activity Balance Confidence Scale. Many did not produce statistically significant results amputee cohorts. Understanding minimal important clinical difference is key. Summary use essential. Training education likely increase measures. Quality life conjunction outcomes. Simple commonly used. These general easy administer requiring a small space, limited equipment, short time frame.
