Innovative Outcome Measures for Upper Limb Prosthetic Rehabilitation

Abstract

Three outcome measures will be introduced that together capture holistic data regarding 1. psychological status post injury and post prosthesis fitting, 2. patient reported perceptions in areas of satisfaction, function and pain and 3. patient performance with a prosthesis. These measures seek to address gaps in currently available outcome measures for the upper limb loss community. Validation study results are shared and potential benefits of use discussed.
