Immediate Fit Using Innovative Technology Transtibial & Transfemoral Prosthesis

Immediate Fit Using Innovative Technology Transtibial & Transfemoral Prosthesis

iFIT Prosthetics, LLC® created and commercialized a modular, immediate fit, fully adjustable, prosthetic system suitable for mass production using high strength injection molded polymer materials. The aim of this project is to assess the design, user satisfaction and feasibility of this device. The investigators will be fitting transtibial and transfemoral amputees with the iFIT prosthetic system. Patients will wear the device for 2 weeks in order to compare the device to their own prosthetic (if they currently have one). They will report any device breakages or adverse events. They will also fill out a questionnaire to determine if the iFIT prosthetic is a feasible option for treating patients with limb loss.

Inclusion Criteria:

• transtibial or transfemoral level of amputation
• functional ambulator with or without a cane
• six months or more since amputation.

Exclusion Criteria:

• patient have skin ulcerations on the residual limb
• have other central nervous system disorders such as strokes and brain injuries that interfere with safe ambulation and gait testing
• severe phantom or limb pain
• weight over 260 lbs
