To determine the perspectives of amputees and rehabilitation clinicians on the effect of socket fit and issues caused by ill-fitting sockets throughout lower limb prosthetic rehabilitation.
A survey was developed to identify rehabilitation factors and issues for prosthesis wearers and rehabilitation clinicians. Participants opted to participate in a further telephone interview.
Online and across the United Kingdom.
Lower limb prosthetic wearers and clinicians who are part of a lower limb prosthetic rehabilitation team (N=94).
Not applicable.
A survey and an interview to measure the perceived effect of socket fit on lower limb rehabilitation.
Issues related to socket fit were identified as the biggest factor affecting rehabilitation by 48.0% of amputees and 65.7% of clinicians. Amputee interviewees focused on the effect of fit on quality of life and the ability to complete daily tasks, whereas clinicians focused on the lack of widespread ability to adjust the socket and gait re-education.
Socket fit has a large effect on and is a large source of frustration to amputees and their clinical teams throughout rehabilitation. From the interviews, it became clear that the interpretation of socket fit is different for each person; thus, "socket fit" does not mean the same for all patients.
确定截肢者和康复临床医生对于下肢假肢康复过程中接受腔适配效果以及适配不佳所引发问题的看法。
开展一项调查，以确定假肢佩戴者和康复临床医生的康复相关因素及问题。参与者可选择参加进一步的电话访谈。
线上及全英国。
下肢假肢佩戴者以及下肢假肢康复团队中的临床医生（N = 94）。
不适用。
一项调查和一次访谈，以衡量接受腔适配对下肢康复的感知影响。
48.0%的截肢者和65.7%的临床医生认为，与接受腔适配相关的问题是影响康复的最大因素。接受访谈的截肢者关注适配对生活质量和完成日常任务能力的影响，而临床医生则关注调整接受腔的能力普遍不足以及步态再教育问题。
在整个康复过程中，接受腔适配对截肢者及其临床团队有很大影响，也是他们沮丧情绪的一大来源。从访谈中可以清楚地看出，每个人对接受腔适配的理解都不同；因此，“接受腔适配”对所有患者来说并非意味着相同的情况。
