A study on the value of the modified KBM prosthesis compared with other types of prosthesis.
A study is reported on the value of a modified KBM prosthesis compared with other types of prostheses. Recently a new type of below-knee prosthesis (the so called modified KBM prosthesis) was introduced in the Netherlands. This prosthesis is now frequently used as a substitute for more conventional types. A study was carried out on the value of this new prosthesis, compared with the more conventional types, by means of a questionnaire sent to a group of patients who formerly used a more conventional type of prosthesis.
