Adjustable-volume prosthetic interfaces are a disruptive technology to the prosthetic industry. While research has accelerated development in recent years, no attempt to aggregate the data has been made in the literature. Results of a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of current publications and clinical significance to practitioners will be presented.

The Effect of Microprocessor Controlled Exo-prosthetic Knees on Limited Community Ambulators: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Andreas D. Hahn, PhD MSc

The work elucidates the current state of the published literature on the use of microprocessor controlled exo-prosthetic knee joints f with low mobility ambulators. A meta-analysis is used to present pooled results.

Clinical Outcomes Measurement in Pediatric Lower Limb Prosthetics: A Scoping Review

Kevin D. Koenig, Jr., MPO, CPO

This scoping review examines the current literature to identify standardized outcome measures that may be suitable for routine clinical measurement of children who use lower limb prostheses. For each outcome measure identified, we describe the available psychometric evidence to guide use in pediatric prosthetic care. Recommendations are made to address current gaps in the available literature, including suggestions for outcome measure development and assessment that is focused on the unique needs of pediatric lower limb prosthesis users.
