Graphical representation of the five point Locomotor Capability Index.
The Locomotor Capability Index (LCI) is widely used for assessing goals and achievements of patients receiving prostheses. The Stanmore-Kingston Splat method for graphical display of the results has previously been described and is based on four levels of achievement for each of the 14 tasks in the index. Recently a modified version of the LCI with five levels for each task has been described (LCI-5). We have thus developed and applied the system for graphical display of the LCI-5 in Splat form. The new Splat can help to highlight the difference in ability of the prosthetic user who can achieve tasks without a walking aid compared to those using a walking aid.
