Relevance – Benefits of MPKs are well established in community ambulators (MFCL-3) with transfemoral amputation (TFA).

Identified six relevant publications with 57 subjects with TFA and MFCL-2 mobility grade. Rated methodological quality using criteria from Cochrane Review on prosthetic components. – 4 studies = moderate. – 2 studies = low.

Performance-based outcome measures suggest that MFCL-2 ambulators using MPKs may walk: – 14%–25% faster on level ground. – 20% quicker on uneven surfaces. – 30% faster when descending a slope.

Criteria for patient selection and assessment of trial fitting success or failure are proposed.
