Abstract:
Background: Ambulation with a prosthesis is the ultimate goal of rehabilitation for a person with a major lower limb amputation. Due to challenges with prosthetic service delivery in rural settings, many patients with amputations are not benefitting from prosthetic interventions. Inaccessibility to prosthetic services results in worse functional outcomes and quality of life. Learning from the experiences of current prosthetic users in this setting can assist to improve prosthetic service delivery. Objectives: To explore the experiences of lower limb prosthetic users and to understand the importance of a lower limb prosthesis to a prosthetic user in a rural area of South Africa. Study design: A generic qualitative approach and an explorative design were utilised in this study. Methods: A semi-structured interview guide was used to collect data from nine prosthetic users in a rural area in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically. Demographic details and information related to acute in-patient rehabilitation were analysed descriptively. Results: All participants were independent in activities of daily living with their prosthesis and participated actively in their community. Participants reported that their prosthesis was essential to their functioning. High travel cost was highlighted as a barrier to the maintenance of their prosthesis. Patients were dissatisfied with being unemployed. Conclusion: Prosthetic intervention positively influences function, independence and community participation. Challenges relating to the accessibility, cost and maintenance of prosthetics should be a priority to ensure continued functional independence for prosthetic users. Clinical relevance Understanding the importance of a prosthesis to a prosthetic user validates prosthetic intervention for persons living with an amputation in a rural setting and is vital in establishing and remodelling effective systems for prosthetic service delivery.

Abstract:
Background: Many persons with upper limb amputation reject prostheses, and many are not satisfied with their devices. Research is needed to understand modifiable factors related to device satisfaction. Myoelectric devices with multiple degrees of freedom are now available; however, no studies have examined whether they lead to greater device satisfaction. Prosthetic training contributes to more skillful prosthesis use and greater likelihood of long-term use; however, the relationship between training and device satisfaction is unclear. Objectives: (1) To describe and compare satisfaction by prosthesis and terminal device type and (2) to identify factors associated with satisfaction. Study design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Participants were 449 persons with unilateral upper limb amputation who used a prosthesis. Participants described their prostheses, prosthetic training, device repairs, visits to a prosthetist, and rated device satisfaction using two standardized measures (Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales Satisfaction scale and Orthotics and Prosthetics Users’ Survey - Client Satisfaction with Devices scale). Multivariate generalized linear regression models examined the relationship between prosthesis and terminal device type and satisfaction, controlling for covariates that were meaningful in bivariate analyses. Results: There were no differences in satisfaction by prosthesis type or terminal device degrees of freedom. Satisfaction was associated with receipt of training to use the initial prosthesis, amputation level, age, and race. Conclusion: No differences in satisfaction by device or terminal device type were observed. Worse satisfaction was associated with more proximal amputation level, younger age, and black race. The association between receipt of initial prosthetic training and device satisfaction points to the critical role of occupational or physical therapy in the early stages of prosthetic care. Clinical relevance Prosthetic satisfaction did not vary by device or terminal device degrees of freedom. Proximal amputation level, younger age, and black race were associated with lower prosthetic satisfaction. Receipt of initial prosthetic training was associated with greater device satisfaction, pointing to the critical role and lasting impact of early training.

Abstract:
Background: The osseointegration programme for upper extremity amputation started in Sweden in 1990, when a titanium fixture was first implanted into a thumb. This method has since been used for transhumeral and below-elbow amputation. The treatment involves two surgical procedures. During the first a titanium fixture is surgically attached to the skeleton, and a second procedure six months later involves a skin penetrating abutment to which the prosthesis is attached.Objectives: To describe the osseointegration procedure for surgery, prosthetics and rehabilitation.Methods: Patients with short stumps and previous problems with prosthetic fitting were selected. From 1990 to April 2010, 37 upper limb cases were treated and fitted with prosthesis: 10 thumbs, 1 partial hand, 10 transradial and 16 transhumeral amputations. Of these, 7 patients are currently not prosthetic users.Results: Patients indicated that function and quality of life had improved since osseointegration.Conclusion: Osseointegration is an important platform for present and future prosthetic technology. The prosthetic situation is improved due to the stable fixation, freedom of motion and functionality.Clinical relevance The two-stage osseointegration procedure has the potential to change the rehabilitation strategy for selected upper limb amputees. The method eliminates the need for a socket and the prosthesis will always fit. The stable prosthetic fixation and increased freedom of motion generates improved function. Specially designed components and rehabilitation procedures have been developed.

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to evaluate whether prosthetic fitting before the age of one year is associated with better outcomes in children with unilateral congenital below-elbow deficiency compared to children fitted after the age of one. Twenty subjects aged 6–21 years were recruited (five prosthetic users and 15 non-users). The Child Amputee Prosthetics Project-Prosthesis Satisfactory Inventory (CAPP-PSI) and the Prosthetic Upper Extremity Functional Index (PUFI) were used to assess patient satisfaction and functional use of the prosthesis. Videotapes were used to assess motor performance. Initial prosthetic fitting before one year of age was related to use of a prosthesis for at least four years. Age at first fitting was not associated with satisfaction with the prosthesis, functional use of the prosthesis or motor skills. Discrepancies between ease of performance with prosthesis and usefulness of the prosthesis as well as between capacity and performance of activities were found. The video assessments showed impaired movement adaptation to some tasks in six subjects. In conclusion, early prosthetic fitting seems to have a limited impact on prosthesis use during later stages of life.

Abstract:
Background: There is a known shortage of rehabilitation staff in rural settings and a sharp increase in the number of lower limb amputations being performed. A lack of adequate pre-prosthetic rehabilitation will result in worse physical and psychological outcomes for a person with a lower limb amputation, and they will not be eligible to be fitted with a prosthesis. Objective: To explore therapists’ experiences with providing pre-prosthetic rehabilitation in a rural setting. Study design: A qualitative descriptive approach was used to collect and analyse data. Methods: Data were collected from 17 purposively sampled therapists in five district hospitals in a rural community in South Africa. Data were collected in two rounds of focus groups to explore the challenges of providing pre-prosthetic rehabilitation in rural South Africa. Results: The main themes identified in the study were (1) a lack of government health system support, (2) poor socioeconomic circumstances of patients and (3) cultural factors that influence rehabilitation. These themes all negatively influence the therapists’ ability to follow up patients for pre-prosthetic rehabilitation after discharge from hospital. A lack of adequate pre-prosthetic rehabilitation is a substantial barrier to prosthetic fitting in rural South Africa. Patients who do not receive pre-prosthetic rehabilitation have a poorly shaped residuum or other complications such as knee or hip joint contractures which disqualifies them from being referred to prosthetic services. Conclusion: Therapists involved in this study identified the most important barriers to patients having access to prosthetic services. Clinical relevance Pre-prosthetic rehabilitation provides care of the residuum; maintenance or improvement of physical strength, joint range of motion and referral to a prosthetist. By exploring the challenges known to exist in this service, we can identify potential ways to reduce these barriers and improve the lives of those who use it.

Abstract:
Background and aim:The need of comfortable and safe prosthetic systems is an important challenge for both prosthetists and engineers. The aim of this technical note is to demonstrate the use of three-dimensional digital image correlation to evaluate mechanical response of two prosthetic systems under real patient dynamic loads.Technique:This note describes the use of three-dimensional digital image correlation method to obtain full-field strain and displacement measurements on the surface of two lower limb prostheses for Chopart amputation. It outlines key points of the measurement protocol and illustrates the analysis of critical regions using data obtained on specific points of interest.Discussion:The results show that the use of three-dimensional digital image correlation can be a tool for the prosthetist to optimize the prosthesis considering features related to the material and design, in order to bear with real patient-specific load conditions.Clinical relevanceThree-dimensional digital image correlation can support decision-making on new designs and materials for prosthetics based on quantitative data. Better understanding of mechanical response could also assist prescription for appropriate prosthetic systems.

Abstract:
Prosthetic development recently has focused mainly on myoelectrically controlled electric hands despite a majority of upper extremity amputees actively choosing body powered devices. Myoelectric hands utilize a small electric pulse generated in muscles when flexing as a signal to the hand to close. Finger flexion in these devices is controlled by electromechanical servos, requiring no strength input from the user. Body powered devices use a cable attached to a shoulder harness which causes mechanical closure of the device via tension placed on a control cable by a shoulder shrug motion or arm extension. Outfitting of active duty service personnel has recently tended to follow the electronic hands which have fragile electronics, have a poor response to user input, and are not fit for harsh outdoor environments. This report will detail the current development of a re-design of a custom left hand prosthesis for an active duty Navy SEAL and the transition from electronic controls to full body power function.

Abstract:
A successful restoration of vision should allow the blind to look, to see and to understand. The engineering of a microelectronic vision prosthesis has come a long way over the last forty years, but the understanding of how the restored form of vision would be interpreted and functionally applied to everyday living has made little progress until recent times. Prosthetic vision is not what most people think it would be; it is a visual scene composed of relatively large, isolated, spots of light so-called "phosphenes", very much like a magnified pictorial print. This thesis dissertation seeks to obtain a complete survey of the visual description of phosphenes from the human trial reports in the literature, simulate it, obtain a measure of the functional capacity of such visual perception, and explain the measured performance against design aspects of phosphene presentation, human perception, cognition and behaviour. Specifically, "visual acuity" (VA) was assessed on normally sighted subjects (N=15) administered with "simulated prosthetic vision". VA is a functional measure of vision highly correlated to many daily activities. Aggregating the results from the study with the other VA studies in prosthetic vision, it is shown that in general, the density of the phosphene field determines the affordable VA; however, design aspects relating to the phosphene field lattice (0.03 10gMAR with the hexagonal lattice as opposed to a square lattice) and image processing routines (0.15 10gMAR at optimised settings) can be further fine-tuned to improve VA performance. Significant performance improvement also arose from learning (0.13 10gMAR over ten visitations) and visual scanning adaptation (0.20 10gMAR with a circular scanning strategy). Performance improvements are likely related to various preferences and perceptual preferences of the human visual system. A rehabilitation program targeting the appropriate behavioural adaptation coupled with image processing routine optimised for image comprehension should provide a vision prosthesis recipient with the best functional experience to restored vision.

Abstract:
The term ‘prosthetic’ is used increasingly across the social sciences and has taken on a theoretical life as a result of debates springing from contemporary studies of science and technology, medical anthropology and citizenship. This research considers whether the usage of ‘prosthetic’ and ‘prosthesis’ has however, become all too distanced from a grounded understanding of these terms, and is now in many ways synonymous with the term ‘cyborg’, therefore obscuring the specific relationships that prostheses represent. It asks if these terms have become a ‘catchall’ of technological subjectivities, without any basis in lived experience. Through ethnographic research into the manufacture, marketing and usage of medical prostheses in a Serbian inpatient rehabilitation centre, as well as interviews with prosthesis manufacturers, salespeople, as well with various citizens young and old, I present a nuanced view of the way in which citizenship itself is enacted. Citizenship is also a process of augmenting the body, both explicitly, such as in the (re)construction of socially acceptable bodies who have the capacity to labour, and implicitly, such as in the process of acquiring passports and identity documents. This process of externalising, and of the distributing of elements of the self into objects and relationships outside of the biological body forms the basis of what I term prosthetic citizenship. In my search for a grounded and ethnographically informed understanding of prostheses, and of prosthetic citizenship, key themes emerge, such as hope, normality, morality and the relationship of technology to the bodies. I find that prostheses are always sites of entanglement and paradox, but that they are also equally full of promise, and that in understanding how, why and in what capacities they are used, they emerge as capable of bridging the divide between theoretically complex abstract relationships, and the pragmatic realities of daily life.

Abstract:
Background Recent conflicts have seen an increase in trauma related military amputees who incur complex injuries which result in varied residual limbs. In many cases these amputees have been provided with state of the art (SOTA) components with the expectation that they will transfer into NHS care after military discharge. However, there is a lack of knowledge around how prosthetic prescriptions are made in both the MOD and NHS, including patient involvement. It is important to explore prosthetic prescription decisions to enhance the quality, consistency and equity of care delivery for trauma amputees. This thesis explores decision making in prosthetic care for trauma amputees in the UK during this period of change. Aims To explore aspects of prosthetic care provision in the UK including clinical decision making, patient experience and the transition of prosthetic care from the MOD to the NHS. Design An exploratory qualitative project informed by decision making and patient involvement theory. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with nineteen clinical staff involved in prosthetic provision, six civilian and five veteran trauma amputees. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Findings Prosthetists used a wide range of factors in making prescription decisions, including physical characteristics, patients’ goals, and predicted activity levels. Prescription decision making varied depending on the prosthetists’ level of experience and the different ‘cues’ identified. In some cases there was a lack of transparency about drivers for the prescription choice. Prescription decisions are influenced by long term relationships between prosthetist and patient, allowing a trial and error approach with increasing patient involvement over time. Patient experiences of their trauma amputation influenced their approach to rehabilitation. Patients reported wanting different levels of involvement in their prosthetic care, however, communication was essential for all. Veteran amputees benefited from peer support opportunities which NHS services were less conducive to. However, NHS amputees were more likely to have been ‘involved’ in care decisions. The expectations that MOD patients had of inferior care in the NHS were not realised in the majority of veteran cases. Recommendations Research is needed to support prosthetists’ decisions to become more consistent and transparent. The NHS should consider introducing a peer support model for trauma patients, and particularly in the early stages of rehabilitation.

Abstract:
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka erfarenheter och åsikter hos allmäntandläkare samt specialisttandläkare runt om i Sverige genom en omfattande enkätstudie gällande användning av bettskenor i ett skyddande syfte av protetiska konstruktioner. 2771 tandläkarna hämtades ur en kunddatabas registrerade hos dental företaget Unident.Enkäten sammanställdes på Odontologiska fakulteten, Malmö högskola med 22 frågor. Enkäterna skickades ut i digital form i ett mejl genom Unident till tandläkarna. Antalet medverkande tandläkare blev 588.Studien visade att 67 % av tandläkarna ansåg att bettskenor i skyddande syfte vid protetiska konstruktioner ej var nödvändigt. Dock valde 4 av 5 tandläkare att ändå inkludera en skyddande bettskena till patienter med utförd protetik. Dagens litteratur är väldigt snäv i detta ämne och därmed finns ett behov för framtida studier utöver enkätstudier som påvisar evidens för potentiella bettskenor som agerar skyddande på protetiska konstruktioner hos patienter.
This study aimed to investigate the experiences and habits of dentists when prescribing an appliance as protection in prosthetic therapy in patients. Since there is no published scientific evidence showing that an appliance could be used as a protection in prosthetic therapy it was out of interest to know where dentists obtain their knowledge and if they consider themselves having an adequate competence in this field. The study is based on a survey that examines general dentists as well as dental specialists through a questionnaire with 22 questions out of mixed nature. The study covered 2771 dentists from different parts of Sweden, retrieved from a database of customer records handed by Unident, a dental company. A total of 588 dentists participated in the questionnaire. The use of appliances as protection in patients with prosthetic rehabilitation was considered no to be necessary among 67% of the dentists in this study. However, every 4 out of 5 dentists sometimes include an appliance as protection whenever prosthetic therapy is indicated. Today the literature is very sparse in this subject and there is an obvious need for future studies in a different design besides questionnaires, testing the evidence for a potential protective appliance in patients with prosthetic therapy.

Abstract:
amputation, which includes reduced force generation at the knee and ankle, reduced control of the leg, and different mass properties relative to their intact leg. The physical change in the prosthetic leg leads to gait asymmetries that include spatial, temporal, or force differences. This altered gait can lead to an increase in energy consumption and pain due to compensating forces and torques. The asymmetric prosthesis demonstrated in this research aims to find a balance between the different types of asymmetries to provide a gait that is more symmetric and to make it overall easier for an amputee to walk. Previous research has shown that a passive dynamic walker (PDW) with an altered knee location can exhibit a symmetric step length. An asymmetric prosthetic simulator was developed to emulate this PDW with an altered knee location. The prosthetic simulator designed for this research had adjustable knee settings simulating different knee locations. The prosthetic simulator was tested on able-bodied participants with no gait impairments. The kinetic and kinematic data was obtained using a VICON motion capture system and force plates. This research analyzed the kinematic and kinetic data with different knee locations (high, medium, and low) and normal walking. This data was analyzed to find the asymmetries in step length, step time, and ground reaction forces between the different knee settings and normal walking. The study showed that there is symmetry in step lengths for all the cases in overground walking. The knee at the lowest setting was the closest in emulating a normal symmetric step length. The swing times for overground walking showed that the healthy leg swings at almost the same rate in every trial and the leg with the prosthetic simulator can either be symmetric, like the healthy leg or has a higher swing time. Step lengths on the treadmill also showed a similar pattern, and step length of the low knee setting were the closest to the step length of normal walking. The swing times for treadmills did not show a significant trend. Kinetic data from the treadmill study showed that there was force symmetry between the low setting and normal walking cases. In conclusion these results show that a low knee setting in an asymmetric prosthesis may bring about spatial and temporal symmetry in amputee gait. This research is important to demonstrate that asymmetries in amputee gait can be mitigated using a prosthesis with a knee location dissimilar to that of the intact leg. Tradeoffs have to be made to achieve symmetric step length, swing times, or reaction forces. A comprehensive study with more subjects has to be conducted in-order to have a larger sample size to obtain statistically significant data. There is also opportunity to expand this research to observe a wider range of kinetic and kinematic data of the asymmetric prosthesis.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to develop an intuitive software that aids in the field of prosthetic training and rehabilitation by creating an individualized visualization of joint angles. This software is titled “the prosthetic training software (PTS) for individualized joint angle representation”, and it enables the individualized portrayal of predicted or pre-recorded joint angles. The PTS is an intuitive program for clinicians and prosthesis users that produces an animation of a virtual avatar reflecting the user’s segment lengths and amputation for rehabilitation and training purposes. The PTS consists of a graphical user interface (GUI) and a 3D visualization of the information input into the GUI. This software was developed in Microsoft Visual Studio (Microsoft, Redmond, Washington) as well as the Unity game engine (Unity Technologies, San Francisco, California) in the programming language C#. Four GUI tabs were created consisting of a patient input tab, a patient measurements tab, a prosthesis view and search tab, and a tab dedicated to editing a list of prostheses. Code was developed to take information input into these tabs to create an individualized 3D human model for the visualization. Twenty-four models were created in order to allow for unique portrayal of that input data. The models consisted of small, medium and large sizes, both male and female genders, and able-bodied, transradial left side, and transradial right side amputation variations. A generic transradial prosthesis was created for the use in the variations of these models. An additional six stick figure models were generated in order to give additional perspective of the portrayed joint angles. Code was also developed in order to animate these models accurately to the joint angles that are sent to them. Playback speed, viewing orientation, and perspective control functionalities were developed in order to assist in the comprehensiveness of the displayed joint angles. The PTS is not meant to be standalone software, however, the functionalities that it needed to encapsulate in order to work in conjunction with research currently being conducted at USF were tested. The intuitiveness of the GUI and visualization was evaluated by ease of use surveys, as well as volunteer commentary, in order to find how easily the interface that can be operated in a home setting without the oversight of an experienced operator. On average, subjects agreed that the PTS was intuitive to use, both for inputting information and utilizing the visualization. Feedback from these surveys will be used to further improve the PTS in the future. The feasibility of learning from the visualization output from the PTS was tested by comparing motions from five able-bodied subjects before and after having been taught three motions comprising pre-recorded joint angles animated by the PTS. Joint angles were calculated from recorded marker positions. It was found that after viewing the animation, the joint angles were markedly closer to the joint angles portrayed to them. This shows that the PTS is fully capable of showing joint angles in a comprehensive way. Future work will include additional testing of these functionalities, including the testing of prosthesis users, as well as the introduction and testing of new features of prosthesis recommendation and predictive joint angle production when later combined with future research.

Abstract:
This dissertation focuses on the investigation and development of an effective prosthetic training and rehabilitation platform with the use of virtual reality to facilitate an effective process to return amputees to the highest level of independence and functioning possible. It has been reported that approximately 10 million people live with a limb loss worldwide, with around 30% being an upper-extremity amputee. The sudden loss of a hand or arm causes the loss of fine, coordinated movements, reduced joint range of motion (ROM), proprioceptive feedback and aesthetic appearance, all which can be improved with the use of a prosthesis and proper training. Current literature has shown prosthetic devices to provide limited function to users in a variety of areas including hand operation, functionality and usability, all which could be improved with proper rehabilitation and training. It has been exhibited that a large percentage of amputees abandon or reject prosthesis use mostly due to limited function and lack of training or knowledge of the device. It has been reported that untrained amputees will adjust their body in an awkward or compensatory body motion rather than repositioning a joint position while performing a task with a prosthetic device. This causes misuse and improper function that has been shown to lead to significant injuries. An effective prosthetic training and rehabilitation regime would be advantageous in returning the patient to the highest level of independence and functioning possible, with proper use of their prosthetic device. A successful training and rehabilitation program would allow an amputee to improve their ability to perform with optimal motion and use all prosthetic control capabilities. This dissertation describes the development of a stick figure model of the user’s motion in real-time and a character avatar animating the individualized optimal goal motions. The real-time model directly corresponds to the user’s motion, with the option to have the character avatar simultaneously animating an optimal goal motion for the user to follow. These were implemented into the Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN) system (Motek Medical, Amsterdam, Netherlands) to provide real-time visual feedback to the users while performing specified training and rehabilitating tasks. A ten camera Vicon (Oxford, UK) optical motion captured system was used with the CAREN system capabilities to track body and upper extremity prosthetic segments during range of motion (ROM), activities of daily living (ADL), and return to duty (RTD) tasks, with and without the use of the virtual reality visual feedback. Data was collected on five able-bodied subjects and five subjects with a unilateral transradial amputation using their personal prosthetic device. Through investigation and development, a preferred and effective way to display the visualization of the real-time and optimal models were revealed. Testing the subjects with and without the virtual reality visualization, exhibited the effectiveness of providing visual feedback. Results showed subject’s to have improved positing, movement symmetry, joint range of motion, motivation, and overall an improved performance of the series of tasks tested. With the integration of the optimal model visualization, real-time visual feedback, and additional CAREN system capabilities, upper-extremity training and rehabilitation techniques were shown to enhance with the use of virtual reality, through improved task performance, and functional advances. The results of this dissertation introduce an alternative means for clinicians to consider for effectively rehabilitating and training upper-limb amputees. Findings of this dissertation sought to provide useful guidelines and recommendation to aid in the development of a small-scale adaptable option for rehabilitation practitioners and at home use. The techniques investigated in this study could also be applicable for lower-limb amputee, post-stroke, traumatic brain injury, poly-trauma, and other patients with physically limiting disabilities. The techniques investigated in this study are expected to aid in the development of training and rehabilitation procedures for a variety of patient populations, to enhance the effectiveness and assist in improving the overall quality of life of others.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to inform clinicians and researchers of the reliability and responsiveness of the most commonly used outcome measures in prosthetic rehabilitation in the UK. In addition, this thesis supports the call for more studies of high methodological quality to provide evidence of the psychometric properties of outcome measures of physical function in lower limb amputees. A survey (study I) of Allied Health Professionals established that the outcome measures used most often during prosthetic rehabilitation in the UK were: the Timed Up and Go (TUG), a timed walk test, the Locomotor Capability Index (LCI) and its modified version (LCI-5), the Socket Comfort Score (SCS) and the Special Interest Group in Amputee Medicine (SIGAM) Mobility Grades. A standardised quality checklist (COSMIN) was used in a systematic review (study II) to measure the methodological quality and strength of evidence of the published literature that reported on the psychometric properties of outcome measures used to measure physical function during prosthetic rehabilitation. The review found mixed methodological quality ratings and many studies with small sample sizes rendering the strength of the evidence indeterminate. A limited number of studies commented on limits of agreement and measurement error when reporting on reliability. Even fewer studies reported on responsiveness with only one reporting minimally clinically important difference (MCID) values. Values for consistency, agreement and measurement error, were calculated for the top five commonly used outcome measures as identified from the survey, using a test-retest study design with a period of 7 days between tests (study III). Minimum detectable change (MDC) values were calculated for the SIGAM, LCI-5, TUG and 2MWT. The EQ-5D-5LTM, a measure of the global health of the respondent, was also included as knowledge of its psychometric properties in a population of pwLLA is unknown. However, reliability could not be confirmed for the EQ-5D-5L or the SCS in this population. A longitudinal study (study IV), based during the early rehabilitation period (mean 84 days) following provision of a primary prosthesis, gathered data to calculate indices of responsiveness for the same six outcome measures. Effect sizes were presented for five measures: SIGAM, LCI-5, TUG, 2MWT, SCS and EQ-5D-5L. Minimal clinically important difference values were also presented for the first time for all the outcome measures in this population. A patient reported change questionnaire was used as the anchor in a Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to establish the MCID values.
