Unverified Answer

What are the key goals of this experiment?

"The main aim of this 12-week analysis is to gauge Limb Health by assessing Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) with an Instrument. Secondary objectives encompass Mobility, Balance while ambulating, and Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaires - the Houghton Scale in particular - using a 4-item scoring system with nine or more indicating successful prosthetic rehabilitation. A 6-minute walking test will be employed as part of tracking patient Mobility. Additionally, for monitoring balance during movement, participants must complete a Timed up and go task which requires them to rise from their seat, cover three meters at their own pace then return" - Anonymous Online Contributor
