Dear List,

I am looking for information (statistical data) on the success rate of
bilateral transtibial amputees (over the age of 60). The success rate
being: Limited to full community ambulation, daily wearing (minimum 6
hours.), and independent completion of ADL's. What percentage of
bilateral transtibial amputees graduate from walker to canes for
ambulatory aids? What percentage ends up using wheelchairs a majority of
their time?
