Summary

This randomized controlled trial (n=25 enrolled, n=15 expected to complete) will 1) determine the feasibility of a 40-week limb-load biofeedback training intervention, 2) determine if there is an intervention signal of efficacy, and 3) identify functional movement priorities for people with transfemoral osseointegrated (OI) prostheses. A limb-load biofeedback training group (EXP (n=10)) will be compared to a standard of care attention-control group without limb-load biofeedback training (CTL (n=5)). Outcomes will be assessed at standard of care pre-habilitation end (Week 5), standard of care rehabilitation end (Week 24), and one year after OI Stage 2 surgery (Week 64).

  • Osseointegration

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Limb Load Biofeedback Training Intervention

Loadsol data will be used to inform the EXP telehealth sessions, as the interventionist guides the participant to self-monitor their movement, problem solve movement patterns that promote asymmetrical limb loading, and create weekly action plans for improving limb load symmetry. Weekly goals will be made in the context of functional task progression over the 40-week intervention.

OTHER

Attention Control

The 12 sessions of EXP group limb-load biofeedback training sessions will be replaced by education-only session in the CTL group. The CTL group sessions will include a review of the standard of care home-exercises, a summary of healthcare visits and falls, and interventionist-delivered education on safety topics (e.g., fall prevention, wound care, assistive device use, home safety).
