Team Develops First Validated Tool to Measure Performance in Bone-Anchored Prosthesis Users After Amputation

Team develops first validated tool to measure performance in bone-anchored prosthesis users after amputation

A test developed at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus that measures both prosthetic donning time and mobility in lower-limb amputation, shows that a prosthesis anchored to bone goes on faster than a traditional socket-style prosthesis. The finding is the first to validate the test as a tool to measure performance for lower-limb amputees using bone-anchored prostheses.

CU Anschutz Unveils Groundbreaking Tool for Assessing Performance in

A cutting-edge study conducted at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus has made a significant advancement in the field of prosthetics, particularly for lower-limb amputees. The research focuses on the Colorado Limb Donning-Timed Up and Go (COLD-TUG) test, a novel method that evaluates both the efficiency of prosthetic donning and the mobility of patients using bone-anchored prostheses as compared to traditional socket-style options…
