Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To characterize the improvement in walking distance with a new prosthe-sis, prosthesis component or socket measured by the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) To characterize the improvement in mobility, balance and risk of falling with a new prosthesis, prosthesis component or socket measured by Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test or Four Square Step Test (FSST) depending on the expected mobility grade To characterize the improvement in health-related quality of life with a new prosthesis, prosthesis component or socket assessed by the EQ-5D-5L To characterize the improvement in mobility or confidence in daily activi-ties with a new prosthesis, prosthesis component or socket measured assessed by the Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) score or Locomotor Capabilities Index in Amputees (LCI) score and the Prosthetic Limb Users Survey of Mobility (PLUS-M) score To detect the number of falls within the last six months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
