TL;DR: High-quality literature enabled formulation of evidence statements to support select clinical practice areas, though quantity was lacking, and numerous topics related to TTA care lack rigorous evidence.

TL;DR: Functional differences between the C-Leg and Genium knees are demonstrated to help prosthetists determine if the Genium will provide functional benefits to individual patients.

TL;DR: Obesity is associated with reduced back and core muscular endurance in firefighters, which may increase the risk of musculoskeletal injuries and should be considered when designing exercise programs for back pain prevention in firefighters.

TL;DR: This study confirms that the C-Leg improves ramp descent performance and the Hill Assessment Index’s interrater reliability and offers the possibility of eliminating assistive device use and/or improving step length in the absence of an assistive devices.

TL;DR: It can be concluded with moderate confidence that specific weight-bearing and total-contact sockets for transtibial amputees are functionally and economically equivalent in the short term when costs, delivery time, and all stakeholder perspectives are considered.
