Outcome measurement is crucial to assuring high-quality patient services and
improving the quality of services provided by prosthetists. This article
summarizes recent evidence on the measurement properties of outcome measures, and
updates previously published summaries of outcome instruments. The review focuses
on measures of mobility, functional status, quality of life, and patient
satisfaction, and includes both performance-based and patient-reported outcomes.
Amputation-specific and general measures that are suitable for patients served by
prosthetists are discussed. It is encouraging that responsiveness of measures is
often reported, as this information is needed to improve clinical utility.
