Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation science
  • Prosthetics and orthotics
  • Health outcomes research

Background:

  • Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) assess perceived task capacity with prosthetic devices.
  • The International Classification of Health, Functioning, and Disability (ICF) model identifies factors influencing functioning.
  • Understanding factors affecting upper limb prosthesis users' perceived function is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply the ICF model to identify factors influencing perceived function in upper limb prosthesis users.
  • To explore health condition, body function, environmental, and personal factors affecting perceived function.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative clinical descriptive study.
  • 101 participants with upper limb amputation using prosthetic devices.
  • PROs including pain, satisfaction, and perceived function via the Comprehensive Arm Prosthesis and Rehabilitation Outcomes Questionnaire.

Main Results:

  • Increased satisfaction and reduced pain were associated with higher perceived function.
  • Higher pain scores (less pain) correlated with increased perceived function.
  • Specific amputation levels (elbow disarticulation, transhumeral, shoulder disarticulation, interscapulothoracic) showed decreased perceived function.

Conclusions:

  • Perceived function in upper limb prosthesis users is significantly linked to satisfaction, pain levels, and amputation level.
  • Findings can inform clinical strategies and outcome targets for prosthesis users.
  • This study highlights key factors for improving functional outcomes in individuals with upper limb loss.
