Impact of Improving Footwear Options

Veterans with leg amputations have limited footwear options because their artificial feet do not change shapes for different shoes. Studies have shown that women with amputations receive more frequent prosthetics care than men, but are less satisfied with the fit, comfort, and appearance of their prostheses. The investigators' previous research indicates that women Veterans would like to be able to wear a broader variety of footwear, and those who perceive more footwear limitations tend to have poorer body image and community participation. A new prosthesis designed by the investigators' group allows Veterans with amputations to use their footwear of choice using 3D-printed artificial feet with a single ankle. The novel prosthesis will be tested in this project with women Veterans with amputations to determine the impact of improving footwear options on body image and community participation.
