Additional non-statistically significant improvements support the latter findings and include knee stability in conditions resulting in collapse of other knees and improved balance confidence.“ “In total, these seven studies provide a grade “B“ recommendation.“ Highsmith MJ, Kahle JT, Bongiorni DR, Sutton BS, Groer S, Kaufman KR: Safety, energy efficiency, and cost efficacy of the C-leg for transfemoral amputees: A review of the literature.

Therefore, outcome measures had to be developed:  Orthosis Evaluation Questionnaire (OEQ) based on the validated Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ): 81 questions to be answered on a Visual Analague Scale (VAS), resulting in a total score and 9 sub-scores I © Otto Bock HealthCare

These improvements may create a good basis for further improvement of participation in familiy, social, and professional life. I © Otto Bock HealthCare
