There exists a need for an adjustable socket to accommodate residual limb volume and shape changes. Further, limb loss rates globally are rising and there is a large unmet need for affordable and accessible prosthetic systems. To assess the utility of an immediate fit modular prosthetic system (IFIT Prosthetics, LLC®). Prospective feasibility study involving a two-week home single-group pre-post intervention study. PM&R gait laboratory Subjects were at least 6-months post amputation and walking with a conventional prosthesis. They were free of skin wounds, other neurological disorders, and severe pain conditions. Participants were fit with an immediate fit prosthesis and instructed to wear it for a two-week evaluation period. They were given a progressive wearing schedule and they completed outcome measurements at the two week follow up. Self-reported satisfaction, ii) gait biomechanics, and iii) intrasocket peak pressures. Twenty-six participants entered the study, with twenty-two completing the trial. Subjects averaged 50 years (SD ±10.2) of age; four were female. Sixteen were dysvascular and ten were traumatic in etiology. Significant differences (p= 0.03) in self-reported satisfaction was found in favor of the IFIT device 29.33 (SD ± 4.51) versus the conventional device 25.52 (SD ± 6.8). No falls or limb ischemia were reported. Gait biomechanics revealed no differences across any temporal characteristics. Intra-socket peak pressures were significantly lower for the IFIT prostheses overall (p = .0014), at the anterior tibia (p=.0002), and the lateral side (p=.013). The IFIT transtibial prosthetic system appears to be safe in this short term trial. It compared favorably to subjects’ conventional prostheses across all outcome measures. With its cost, adjustability, and accessibility advantages, this device may prove useful for persons with transtibial amputations. A larger multi-center trial is needed to confirm these results.
