Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Aim – Examine utility of Amputee Mobility Predictor (AMP)- Bilateral (AMP-B) to measure performance of functional tasks related to advanced skill activities in people with bilateral lower-limb amputation (BLLA). – Determine correlation between AMP-B scores and 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) performance. Relevance – Original AMP is designed to assess mobility and functional capabilities for people with unilateral lower- limb amputation. – No comparable measure exists for those with BLLA.

Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Method 26 male servicemembers participated: – 12 with bilateral transtibial amputation (BTTA). – 7 with bilateral transfemoral amputation (BTFA). – 7 with combination transtibial and transfemoral amputation (TTA/TFA).

Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Results AMP-B scores, AMP scores, and 6MWT distance: – Significantly differed between: Servicemembers with BTTA and TTA/TFA. Servicemembers with BTTA and BTFA. – Did not significantly differ between: Servicemembers with BTFA and TTA/TFA. Scoring of 5 AMP items was modified because they necessitated intact knee joint to generate necessary torque requirements to perform activity without upper-limb assistance.

Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Conclusion Minor modifications in AMP scoring: – Do not alter total score. – Allow clinicians to determine mobility and functional capabilities of servicemembers with BTFA and TFA/TTA.
