Walking ability and quality of life in subjects with transfemoral amputation: a comparison of osseointegration with socket prostheses
Objective To investigate walking ability and quality of life of osseointegrated leg prostheses
compared with socket prostheses. Design Prospective case-control study. Setting University
medical center. Participants Subjects (N= 22) with transfemoral amputation (1 bilateral)
referred to our center because of socket-related skin and residual limb problems resulting in
limited prosthesis use. Their mean age was 46.5 years (range, 23–67y) and mean time
since amputation was 16.4 years (range, 2–45y). Causes of amputation were trauma (n= 20) …
