Women's-Specific Footwear With Prosthetic Feet

NCT03673371 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to address footwear challenges unique to women prosthesis users. Comparing the effectiveness of different footwear and prosthesis combinations will help guide clinical decision making regarding the prescription of prosthetic devices, while keeping what the patient wants in mind.

It is expected that these results will be used to generate new knowledge for the development of versatile prosthetic devices that accommodate a user's unique lifestyle while helping the patient to make good progress in rehabilitation.

Investigators will characterize perceived limitations in footwear among women prosthesis users. Investigators think that women prosthesis users will be restricted in footwear choices and clothing choices due to the use of a prosthetic device.

Specifically, investigators expect perceived limitations in footwear will be greater for shoes with higher heels than shoes without heels.
