Summary

The goal of this retrospective questionnaire study is to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of non-microprocessor controlled prosthetic knees (NMPK) versus microprocessor controlled prosthetic knees (MPK) in persons with a knee-disarticulation or transfemoral amputation. The main aims are:

* to provide an overview of the costs, health-related quality of life, and user experiences associated with the use of different types of prosthetic knees.
* to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the NMPK compared to the MPK for adult prosthesis users.

Participants will fill out three questionnaires about (1) their medical consumption and productivity costs; (2) health-related quality of life; (3) utility, ambulation and well-being.

Researchers will compare the persons with a NMPK to the persons with an MPK to investigate the cost-efficiency of both types of knees.
