GPS trackers reveal hidden mobility patterns in amputees

This study aims to understand how people with a lower limb amputation move around in their community, including both walking with a prosthetic and using a wheelchair or scooter. Researchers will give 50 participants a GPS tracker and an activity monitor to wear for 10-21 days to measure their movement patterns. They will also complete questionnaires about their quality of life, mobility, and balance confidence. The goal is to capture a complete picture of community mobility, which has been overlooked in past research that focused only on walking.
