Dear List,
I am sure most of you are familiar with PAVET protocol for assessment of
eligibility for MPKs ( <URL Redacted>,
such as C-Leg. My questions are as follows.
1. Are non-Hanger facilities use this form? If yes, then how legitimate is
its use, as the form claims to be Copyrighted.
2. Protocols like this that at the end give valuation of the functional
capabilities should be scientifically validated to present clinical value.
I failed to find any research studies in that respect. Could anyone direct
me to such studies, if they exist?
3. If indeed, this protocol is not validated, then what is the value of it?
Is there an alternative? What objective assessment tool do you use in your
practice to justify the use of MPKs?
Stephan
