Background:

Assessing lower extremity function in prosthesis users is crucial for rehabilitation.
Traditional clinic visits can be burdensome for patients requiring prosthetic services.
Home-based virtual assessments offer a potential alternative for mobility evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the relationship between patient-reported lower extremity function and virtual clinician assessment of mobility.
To evaluate the feasibility of a home-based virtual platform for assessing mobility in lower limb prosthesis users.

Main Methods:

A descriptive observational study was conducted.
Participants completed a functional mobility survey and a timed Up and Go test via a HIPAA-compliant virtual platform.
Twelve lower limb loss clients using prostheses were included.

Main Results:

Most participants found basic indoor ambulation and toileting easy (66%-75%), but struggled with running or prolonged activities (83%).
The timed Up and Go test results were faster than reference ranges for transtibial prosthesis users.
Mobility test results were negatively associated with self-reported functional status (r=-.70, P=.02).

Conclusions:

Home-based virtual assessment of mobility for lower limb prosthesis users is feasible.
This modality may decrease therapy visit frequency and rehabilitation costs.
Virtual assessments can reduce travel burdens for patients attending distant prosthetic clinics.
