Rapid Rehab III

Overview

About this study

The objective of this study is to implement and test an innovative fall-prevention/perturbation training program integrated with the standard rehabilitation pathway for patients with lower extremity limb-loss and limb salvage.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Research participants will be eligible active duty service members and retired veterans.
  • Having lower limb trauma (transtibial and transfemoral amputations, bilateral amputations, and limb salvage).
  • Are enrolled in conventional rehabilitation at the participating military treatment centers.
  • Subjects with dysvascular disease will be excluded because compromised lower limb somatosensation and circulation are independently linked with poor postural stability and a history of frequent falls.
  • For subjects with amputations, the individual must be a community ambulator (i.e., K-Level 3 or 4).
  • For subjects with limb salvage, they will need to have an IDEO and be entered into the Return-to-Run training program.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects must not have excessive pain or other neuromuscular problems that preclude them from performing the test protocol.

Eligibility last updated 9/28/21. Questions regarding updates should be directed to the study team contact.
