Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Standard-of-Care + Clinical ScreeningExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
In addition to routine, standardized prosthetic follow-up care, patient participants will receive comorbidity screening for contralateral limb peripheral arterial disease, peripheral neuropathy, major depression, and greater than low risk for persistent low back pain. Participants will be educated on clinical screening findings, provided a copy of their screening results to share with their medical providers, and their results will be securely sent to their primary care provider.
Group II: Standard-of-CareExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patient participants will receive routine standardized prosthetic follow-up care by a certified prosthetist, including evaluation of prosthesis use, prosthesis-enabled mobility, socket comfort and sock ply usage, falls, body anthropometrics, and functional mobility.
