Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the contribution of the vacuum suspension system in an ecological environment on the fitting's comfort compared to the vacuum suspension system inactive system in a multicenter prospective, randomized, double-blind, multiple N-of-1 trial. In order to assess the therapeutic effect of the vacuum suspension system, given the heterogeneity of the population and the small number of patients eligible for the study, the multiple N-of-1 trial seems to us to be the methodology. The principle is to evaluate intensively and prospectively a small group of subjects, each case being its own comparator.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Confort change assessment Assess the impact of the vacuum suspension system on the fitting's comfort compared to the vacuum suspension system inactive system with a daily evaluation on Socket Comfort Score [Scale : On a 0 - 10 scale : 0 represents the most uncomfortable socket fit you can imagine, and 10 represents the most comfortable socket fit] 50 days
Secondary Change in daily wearing time of the prosthesis Declarative, in hours Every day during 50 days
Secondary Change in the daily number of steps Measured with a pedometer Every day during 50 days
Secondary Assessment of the stump volume variation The stump volume variation will be assessed by 2 questions :
How many times have you removed your prosthesis during the day (not counting the evening's removal) to add compensation sheaths? " 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, >4
Did you have the fear at one (or more) moment(s) of the day, of losing your prosthesis, that it would come off by itself? " Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of 0: no not at all at 10 = yes a lot
Every day during 50 days
Secondary Assessment of limb-prosthesis coaptation The limp-prosthesis coaptation will be assessed by 2 questions :
"Do you feel that you have mastered your prosthesis, that it is one with you?" VAS from 0 = not at all to 10 =perfectly
"Do you feel a piston movement of your prosthesis when walking (sensation of vertical movement of the prosthesis in relation to the stump when walking)?" VAS from 0 = not at all to 10 = yes a lot
Every day during 50 days
Secondary Change L-Test of Functional Mobility The L Test is a timed ambulation over 20 meters, which includes two sit to/from stand transfers and three turns Up to 50 days
Secondary Change in 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT) The 6MWT is simply a record of the distance traveled by a given patient at his or her self-selected walking speed over a period of six minutes. All that is required is a stopwatch and a walking corridor or track of known distance. Those administering the test should avoid walking with or in front of test subjects to avoid pacing individuals outside of their self-selected walking speed Up to 50 days
Secondary Change in patient satisfaction with device: Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology Measured with QUEST scale. The Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology (QUEST 2.0) is a 12-item outcome measure that assesses user satisfaction with two components, Device and Services. Scores of 1 indicate dissatisfaction and scores of 5 indicate high satisfaction Up to 50 days
Secondary Change in confidence in maintaining balance while doing daily activities Measured by the simplified Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC-S) Up to 50 days
