PM&R, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 288-304, March 2026.Abstract Background Previous studies on microprocessor‐controlled prosthetic knees (MPKs) often investigate benefits of MPKs as a class of knees rather than clinically relevant differences between specific knees, despite their distinct features. Objectives To systematically evaluate and report outcomes associated with three commercially available MPKs ...

Arterial Stiffness in Lower Limb Amputees
Clinical Medicine Insights: Circulatory, Respiratory and Pulmonary Medicine, 2011 Background A high carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been related to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, but has not been previously evaluated in amputees. The aim of this study was to compare PWV between amputees and nonamputees.

One Year Follow-up of a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Percutaneous Peripheral Nerve Stimulation for Chronic Neuropathic Pain Following Amputation [PDF]
, 2019 INTRODUCTION Over 85% of patients experience residual limb (RLP) and/or phantom limb (PLP) pain following amputation. Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) is a non-opioid approach to relieve postamputation neuropathic pain.
