High-level activity and access to sport following lower limb amputation due to malignant musculoskeletal tumors versus trauma: a prospective comparative study.

ABSTRACT: Patients with musculoskeletal tumors who undergo amputation show reduced physical function. To give these patients better expectations of their future physical capabilities and to enhance the evaluation and development of postoperative rehabilitation, we investigated high-level activity and access to sport using objective measurements and questionnaires. We then compared the results to those of amputees who had undergone amputation due to trauma. In a prospective, monocentric study, we evaluated and correlated the results of the conventional mobility tests such as "timed-up-and-go" test (TUG), "2-Minute-Walk-Test" (2MWT), as well as the "10-Meter-Walk-Test" (10MWT) with a test for high-level activity. In this contribution, the Comprehensive High-Level Activity Mobility Predictor (CHAMP), o
