The goal of this project is to create and conduct a preliminary usability evaluation of a novel adjustable prosthesis for use in aquatic therapy for persons with a lower limb amputation at the transtibial level (LLTTA). It is hypothesized that this prosthesis will benefit both the patient and the therapist during aquatic therapy sessions, which will be evaluated through the following aims:
Aim 1: Create a non-custom, adjustable prosthesis for use in aquatic therapy by individuals with limb loss at the transtibial level.
Aim 2: Perform a pilot study (n=3) to quantity the usability of the prosthesis as a therapy tool.
