Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Prosthetics and Orthotics
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Outcome measurement is essential for ensuring high-quality patient care and services provided by prosthetists.
  • Previous summaries of outcome instruments require updating to reflect recent evidence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize recent evidence on the measurement properties of outcome measures used in prosthetics.
  • To update previously published summaries of outcome instruments relevant to prosthetist-served patients.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of recent evidence on outcome measures.
  • Focus on measures of mobility, functional status, quality of life, and patient satisfaction.
  • Inclusion of both performance-based and patient-reported outcome measures.

Main Results:

  • The review covers amputation-specific and general measures suitable for patients receiving prosthetic services.
  • Responsiveness data for many outcome measures is increasingly reported, enhancing clinical utility.
  • Evidence on measurement properties of various outcome instruments is updated.

Conclusions:

  • Regularly updating outcome measure evidence is vital for improving prosthetic patient services.
  • Availability of responsiveness data aids in selecting appropriate instruments for clinical practice.
  • The reviewed measures support the assessment of mobility, function, quality of life, and satisfaction in prosthetic users.
