Area of Science:

  • Prosthetics and Orthotics
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Limited empirical evidence exists for transfemoral prosthetic interface considerations, creating a knowledge gap for clinicians.
  • Existing studies primarily focus on prosthetic components (knee, foot), neglecting crucial interface factors.
  • Clinical practice guidelines for prosthetic rehabilitation are increasing, but evidence gaps remain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To generate clinical practice recommendations for transfemoral prosthetic interface considerations.
  • To address socket variations, suspension, alignment, thermal/dermatologic issues, female-specific needs, surgical aspects, and osseointegration ethics.
  • To provide evidence-based guidance where empirical data is scarce, relying on expert consensus.

Main Methods:

  • A Delphi consensus exercise involving clinical experts from diverse practice settings.
  • Systematic and narrative literature reviews to generate initial postulate items.
  • Aggregation of subject matter expertise to formulate practice guidelines.

Main Results:

  • Developed guidance statements on socket design, suspension, and interface.
  • Provided recommendations for female-specific considerations, surgical variations, and rehabilitation teams.
  • Addressed regulatory and ethical aspects of osseointegration in transfemoral prosthetics.

Conclusions:

  • The Delphi process successfully established practice guidelines for transfemoral prosthetic interfaces.
  • Expert consensus bridged the gap in empirical evidence for critical interface considerations.
  • These guidelines support clinicians in optimizing care for individuals with transfemoral amputations.
