Study Summary
The goal of this study is to find out if using microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees (MPKs), prosthetic knees with a built-in computer, improves health outcomes related to falls in adults who use above-knee prostheses. The main questions are: * Do individuals with MPKs have fewer fall-related health issues compared to those with non-microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees (nMPKs)? * Do individuals with MPKs have increased mobility, faster walking speed, and improved quality of life compared to those with nMPKs? Participants who have recently received an nMPK as part of their regular care can join the study. Those randomized to the control group will keep using their nMPK, while those randomized to the intervention group will receive a stance-and-swing MPK or a stance-only MPK.
Primary Outcome
The PLUS-F-SEF is a 15-item self-report instrument we developed in the present study to measure perceived ability to avoid a loss of balance while performing an activity. Respondents rate their degree of confidence on a 5-point scale from "not at all confident" (1) to "very much confident" (5). A standardized T-score is generated for the PLUS-F-SEF using a lookup table that converts the raw score to a T-score.
