Abstract

Evidence-based clinical care and outcomes research are essential for developing objectively based standards of practice in prosthetic and orthotic care. Traditionally, outcome measures have been collected using paper-based methods. However, digital collection of these measures may offer several advantages. The COMET© (Clinical Outcome Measures Electronic Toolkit) mobile app was developed to facilitate the assessment of commonly used patient-reported and performance-based outcome measures in prosthetics and orthotics. The usability of the COMET app was evaluated among 15 individuals with lower limb amputation and nine clinicians using the System Usability Scale (SUS). The mean SUS score among individuals with lower limb amputation was 84 ± 12 (Grade: A; Percentile: 90-95; Adjective: Excellent; Acceptable), and the mean SUS score among the clinicians was 80 ± 14 (Grade: A-; Percentile: 85-89; Adjective: Good; Acceptable). There were no significant differences in SUS score between the two groups, indicating that the app was acceptable to both groups of participants in clinical settings.

COMET（临床结果测量电子工具包）移动应用程序的可用性测试，用于收集下肢截肢患者和临床医生的结果测量数据。

以证据为基础的临床护理和结果研究对于发展基于客观的假肢和矫形护理实践标准至关重要。传统上，使用基于纸张的方法收集结果测量。然而，这些措施的数字化收集可能会提供一些优势。开发了COMET©（临床结果测量电子工具包）移动应用程序，以促进对假肢和矫形器中常用的患者报告和基于性能的结果测量的评估。COMET应用程序的可用性在15名下肢截肢患者和9名临床医生中使用系统可用性量表（SUS）进行评估。下肢截肢患者SUS评分平均为84±12分（评分等级：A，百分位数：90-95；形容词：优秀，可接受），临床医生SUS评分平均为80±14分（评分等级：A-，百分位数：85-89；形容词：良好，可接受）。两组之间的SUS评分没有显著差异，表明该应用程序在临床环境中对两组参与者都是可接受的。
