BACKGROUND: Falls in individuals with lower limb amputations (LLAs) pose significant health concerns. The literature is limited regarding falls during the preprosthetic phase of rehabilitation for persons with LLAs.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of falls and identify factors associated with falls during the preprosthetic recovery phase.
DESIGN: Retrospective chart audit.
SETTING: Inpatient rehabilitation program.
PARTICIPANTS: Four hundred forty individuals with LLAs (age ± SD = 61.93 ± 14.53 years, 73.18% male) who attended inpatient rehabilitation from 26 July 2011 to 21 August 2017.
INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: The number of self-reported falls was recorded from the time …

BACKGROUND: Clinicians use the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale to understand balance confidence. A short-form Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale, was developed using the six most difficult tasks from the original Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale; however, short-form the short-form scale psychometrics and agreement with the original scale have yet to be explored in people with lower extremity amputations.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the relative and absolute reliability, construct validity, and agreement of the short-form Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale.
STUDY DESIGN: Test-retest with a 2-week interval.
METHODS: Analysis for relative reliability and internal consistency was intraclass correlation coefficient and Cronbach's
RESULTS: The short-form Activities-specific …
