Study Summary
The purpose of this randomized control study is to determine if administering neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to the thigh muscles of a below the knee amputee is more effective than the current standard of care in preserving thigh muscle strength. In addition, this study will examine the NMES treatment effects on the participant's gait, quality of life, functional performance of standing, walking, and stair climbing, and symptoms associated with residual and phantom limb pain. The primary aim is to compare NMES plus standard rehabilitation (treatment group) to the standard rehabilitation (control group) by measuring lower extremity muscle strength. The secondary aims are to compare NMES treatment group to the control group by measuring Quality of Life (QOL) and the symptoms associated with residual \& phantom limb pain. In addition to the specific aims, this study will also examine the two groups for functional performance and gait patterns after prosthetic fitting.
Interventions
- DEVICE NMES (EMPI 300PV stimulator) plus standard of care
- BEHAVIORAL TMARP standard of care
