Fall Risk

>2X that of the general population (Talbot, et al. 2005)

17-50% of those that fall sustain an injury (Kulkarni, et al. 1996; Miller.

et al. 2001; Pauley, et al. 2006; Wong, et al. 2016)

Prior fall is a major risk factor for subsequent falls (Kalula, et al.

2016)

Risk factors (Hunter, et al. 2016)

o Advanced age*

o Concurrent comorbidities*

o # prescription medications*

o Lower-extremity muscle weakness*

o Dysvascular etiology

o Transfemoral amputation (post-acute phase)

*risk factors shared with

older adult population

K0 Does not have the ability or potential to ambulate or transfer safely with or without assistance and a prosthesis does not enhance their quality of life or mobility.

K1 Has the ability or potential to use a prosthesis for transfers or ambulation on level surfaces at fixed cadence. Typical of a limited and unlimited household ambulatory.

K2

Has the ability or potential for ambulation with the ability to traverse low level environmental barriers such as curbs, stairs, or uneven surfaces. Typical of the limited community ambulator.

K3

Has the ability or potential for ambulation with variable cadence. Typical of the community ambulator who has the ability to transverse most environmental barriers and may have vocational, therapeutic, or exercise activity that demands prosthetic utilization beyond simple locomotion.

K4 Has the ability or potential for prosthetic ambulation that exceeds basic ambulation skills, exhibiting high impact, stress, or energy levels. Typical of the prosthetic demands of the child, active adult, or athlete.
