Load characteristics following transfemoral amputation in individuals fitted with bone-anchored prostheses: a scoping review protocol

JBI Database System Rev Implement Rep. 2018 Jun;16(6):1286-1310. doi: 10.11124/JBISRIR-2017-003398.

Abstract

The main purpose of this scoping review is to characterize loading information applied on the residuum of individuals with transfemoral amputation fitted with an osseointegrated fixation for bone-anchored prostheses.The objectives of this scoping review are: i) to map the scope of loading variables, and ii) to report the range of magnitude of loads that has been directly measured using a portable kinetic recording apparatus fitted at the distal end of the residuum during rehabilitation exercises, standardized and unscripted activities of daily living, and adverse events.The specific review questions are.
