Criteria for Advanced Prosthetic Foot Prescription
Sponsor: VA New York Harbor Healthcare System
Summary
The purpose of this study is to develop criteria for prosthetic foot prescription for Veterans and Service Members with transtibial limb loss. The objectives are to: 1) Determine the appropriate functional outcome tests and measures to support the prescription of a type of Energy Storing and Returning (ESR) non-articulating, articulating or active plantarflexion prosthetic ankle-foot for a Veteran or Service Member with transtibial limb loss. 2) Correlate patient goals and subjective measures with objective data to determine the appropriate prosthetic ankle-foot category that will facilitate the greatest overall function to the user. 3) Develop criteria for the appropriate prescription of non-articulating ESR, articulating ESR, and active plantar flexion ESR ankle-foot units.

Interventions
ESR Prosthetic Foot First
Subjects will start with an ESR foot first for 1 week, then will complete an additional week with an articulating ESR foot and a powered foot for 1 week. The final 4 weeks of the study, all prosthetic feet will be available and subjects can self-select which foot to use.
Articulating ESR Prosthetic Foot First
Subjects will start with an articulating ESR foot first for 1 week, then will complete an additional week with an articulating ESR foot and a powered foot for 1 week. The final 4 weeks of the study, all prosthetic feet will be available and subjects can self-select which foot to use.
Powered Prosthetic Foot First
Subjects will start with a powered prosthetic foot first for 1 week, then will complete an additional week with an articulating ESR foot and an ESR foot for 1 week. The final 4 weeks of the study, all prosthetic feet will be available and subjects can self-select which foot to use.
