The Locomotor Capability Index (LCI) is widely used for assessing goals and
achievements of patients receiving prostheses. The Stanmore-Kingston Splat method
for graphical display of the results has previously been described and is based
on four levels of achievement for each of the 14 tasks in the index. Recently a
modified version of the LCI with five levels for each task has been described
(LCI-5). We have thus developed and applied the system for graphical display of
the LCI-5 in Splat form. The new Splat can help to highlight the difference in
ability of the prosthetic user who can achieve tasks without a walking aid
compared to those using a walking aid.
