Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System

Um, I came and I was doing a fellowship with the Extremity Trauma & Amputation Center for Excellence, and we were looking at this outcome measure in individuals with upper limb loss and limb difference.

Um, so as a part of a larger study, um, looking at access to care in individuals with limb loss, um, we were evaluating people at different conferences and community groupings, um, and seeing how they performed on the SPA, um, as well as some questionnaires, including the PROMIS, or the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System, the OPIS, Orthotics-Prosthetics User Surveys, the DASH, or the Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand, um, over one testing session.

Um, and from this a- information, we looked into the concurrent validity of the SPA for measuring function in people with upper limb loss and limb difference.

Yeah.

Um, if you're looking at people with limb loss, OPIS is great.

There's an upper limb option.

Um, PROMIS is a good one.

Uh, it just depends what you're looking at specifically.
