Daily steps and stepping cadence increase one-year following prosthesis osseointegration in people with lower-limb amputation

PURPOSE: People with lower-limb loss participate in less physical activity than able-bodied individuals, which increases the mortality risk and incidence of metabolic syndromes. This study evaluated the effect of lower-limb prosthesis osseointegration on physical activity, including daily steps and stepping cadence.

METHODS: Free-living walking activity was assessed from 14 patients scheduled to undergo prosthesis osseointegration at two time points (within 2 weeks prior to osseointegration surgery and 12-months following). Daily step count, stepping time, number of walking bouts, average step cadence per bout, maximum step cadence per bout, and time spent in bands of step cadence were compared before and after osseointegration.

RESULTS: Twelve months after prosthesis osseointegration, participants increased daily steps, daily stepping time, average step cadence, and maximum cadence per walking bout compared to pre-osseointegration.

CONCLUSIONS: Participants engaged in more daily steps, higher stepping cadence, and longer bouts at higher cadence one year following osseointegration compared to when using a socket prosthesis. As a novel intervention that is becoming more common, it is important to understand walking activity outcomes as these are critical for long-term health.
