Collaborative-care Rehabilitation to Improve Functional Outcomes After Dysvascular Amputation

The objective of this study is to examine the feasibility of using a collaborative-care,
home-based rehabilitation program to improve functional outcomes for people recovering from
lower limb amputation caused by vascular problems and/or diabetes complications. The primary
hypothesis is that the rehabilitation program will result in greater improvements in
performance-based and participant-reported measures of physical function, compared to
standard of care after outpatient rehabilitation.


Inclusion Criteria:

1. Diabetes and/or Peripheral Artery Disease

2. Unilateral transtibial amputation < 6 months prior to screening

3. Household ambulation using definitive prosthesis prior to baseline testing

4. Participation in physical rehabilitation at time of baseline testing

5. Live within 45 minutes of a participating clinic

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Require wheelchair for mobility (use prosthesis for transfers only)

2. Ankle-level or above amputation on contralateral limb

3. Traumatic or cancer-related amputation

4. Uncontrolled heart condition

5. Acute systemic infection

6. Pregnancy

7. Decisionally challenged

8. Prisoners
