AN IMMEDIATE FIT AND ADJUSTABLE TRANSTIBIAL PROSTHETIC SYSTEM; A PROSPECTIVE FEASIBILITY AND EFFICACY STUDY

Abstract

INTRODUCTION Limb loss rates globally are rising and there is a large unmet need for an affordable and accessible prosthetic system for this growing US and International population. The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to assess the feasibility and utility of a novel immediate fit modular prosthetic system (IFIT Prosthetics, LLC™ prosthesis) for transtibial amputees.
