Validated functional assessment tools for lower limb amputees are recent and primarily in English. Further research is needed to confirm their validity and sensitivity to change in diverse populations.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Prosthetics and Orthotics

Background:

  • Literature review on assessment tools for lower limb amputees.
  • Focus on functional evaluation and outcome assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on assessment tools for lower limb amputees.
  • To identify the characteristics and limitations of current tools.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic search of Medline database.
  • Keywords: 'lower limb amputee/amputation', 'functional evaluation/outcome assessment tools', 'activity of daily living'.
  • Inclusion of references from relevant papers.

Main Results:

  • Comprehensive assessment requires evaluating gait, prosthesis use in daily activities, and device satisfaction.

  • Validated functional assessment tools are recent and predominantly in English.
  • Existing tools consider device use and acceptance but lack large-scale population studies.

    • Conclusions:

    • Recent functional assessment tools for lower limb amputees need validation and translation into other languages, such as French.
    • Further studies with larger sample sizes are necessary to confirm the validity and sensitivity to change of these tools.
