Actual (reported)Daily Activity Measured With Triaxial Accelerometers
Measurements will be obtained three times using activity monitors attached to waist, and bilaterally to the ankle and thigh for a period of 4 consecutive days, including 2 weekdays and 2 weekend days. Primary outcome will be the difference in activity level between the NMPK and MPK measurements.
Baseline (tested on subjects' current NMPK), 10 weeks (after 10 weeks acclimation time to the study MPK) , 4 weeks (subjects placed back on NMPK and tested after 4 weeks re-acclimation time)
Falls as Assessed by the Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire Addendum (PEQ-A)
The Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ) addendum (PEQ-A) is a self-administered questionnaire to quantify balance confidence, concentration, stumbles, and falls. The outcome will be difference in falls per month between the Non-Microprocessor Knee (NPMK) and MPK measurements. The number of falls was recorded as the sum of items #5 and #7 in the PEQ-A.
Baseline (tested on subjects' current NMPK), 10 weeks (after 10 weeks acclimation time to the study MPK) , 4 weeks (subjects placed back on NMPK and tested after 4 weeks re-acclimation time)
Patient Satisfaction as Assessed by the Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ)
Baseline (tested on subjects' current NMPK), 10 weeks (after 10 weeks acclimation time to the study MPK) , 4 weeks (subjects placed back on NMPK and tested after 4 weeks re-acclimation time)
Each subject will be tested using their current Non-Microprocessor Knee (NMPK) , fit and tested with a Microprocessor Knee (MPK), and then tested again with their NMPK, e.g. A-B-A design.
MPKs are prosthetic knees that use a microprocessor to control the prosthetic knee mechanism and adjust knee stiffness.
A NMPK is a mechanical knee with either hydraulic or pneumatic controls.
