What Is the SCS • Adaptation of ‘Pain Scale’ • 0 (most uncomfortable) – 10 (most comfort) • Subjective rating of comfort of the prosthesis
Study by Hanspal Purpose: To Validate the SCS Patients: 44 amputees (vascular, trauma, congenital) in a clinic setting
Results • SCS shows high, consistent correlation between the 3 scores from all assessors • Strong relationship between reported SCS & clinical evidence of poor fit as seen by MD and prosthetist • Significant changes in SCS after intervention
Conclusion SCS has shown repeatability, criterion validity and sensitivity to change
