Recalled Number of Falls in the Past Year—Combined With Perceived Mobility—Predicts the Incidence of Future Falls in Unilateral Lower Limb Prosthesis Users
Abstract
Falls are a frequent and costly concern for lower limb prosthesis (LLP) users. At present, there are no models that clinicians can use to predict the incidence of future falls in LLP users. Assessing who is at risk for falls, therefore, remains a challenge. The purpose of this study was to test whether easily accessible clinical attributes and measurements predict the incidence of future falls in LLP users.
