Abstract
A thorough initial evaluation and ongoing follow-up are critical to an amputee's success with his or her prosthesis. A checklist is presented as a guide for the rehabilitation team to perform a clinical evaluation of a transtibial prosthesis. This evaluation is a tool to standardize the assessment process and to improve patient care.
