PEQ

Dear OandP Subscriber,

We are beginning studies for implementation of the PEQ (Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire). A physical therapist of our gait analysis laboratory, Ms. Priscila Pinheiro, should develop her master's degree project on this questionnaire too.

I would like to do some questions, if possible. I apologize, because I am lay in this field of rehabilitation:

- which rehabilitation centers do use this or other questionnaires as routine?

- some rehabilitation center out of the USA also uses PEQ?

- does other questionnaires for previous evaluation of the rehabilitation process (patient's clinical evaluation: age, amputation conditions , etc) and selection of prosthetic components exist? (a check list for standardization of the evaluations)

- does some center have a systematic method to use questionnaires and gait analysis to generate a rehabilitation report of patient?

another subject:

- does some center use reverse engineering (3d laser scanner) directly on the patient (without molds) for the orthosis production?

Thank you very much for your attention. I apologize for the translation flaws.
Best Regards,
