ASsessing Clinical outcomes with microprocEssor kNee uTilization in a K2 population (ASCENT K2): randomized controlled trial results for above-knee prosthesis users over age 65
MPKs result in lower levels of activity avoidance due to fear-of-falling, reduced falls and near-falls, and better HR-QoL as opposed to NMPKs. Expanded use of MPKs has the potential to enhance safety and HR-QoL among older prosthesis users with limited functional capabilities.
