To assess the needs of lower-limb amputees and identify differences between diabetic dysvascular amputees and traumatic amputees, we held a multistakeholder focus-group workshop whose participants included veteran lower-limb amputees, clinicians, researchers, and prosthetic device manufacturers. We conducted the initial workshop sessions as traditional focus-group meetings with homogeneous participant groups generating lists of issues relevant to the individual groups. Subsequent sessions assembled heterogeneous participant groups for a two-phase approach: Discovery and Codesign. The Discovery phase used observation and discussion to elicit specific needs. The Codesign phase focused on emergent topics and explored potential solutions. The participants identified needs associated with desired improvements to the socket system, foot and ankle components, and alignment with the residual limb. One need was a comprehensive understanding of the recovery path following amputation that could be addressed through enhanced education and communication. Another need was remote monitoring systems that could potentially improve quality of care. No dichotomy of needs between diabetic dysvascular amputees and traumatic amputees was evident among the participants of this workshop. The lively, open-ended discussions produced numerous suggestions for improving amputee quality of life that are listed to facilitate future research and development.
