Amputee perspective Prosthetic process
• Existing Amputee
• New Amputee
– Ill fitting
– Repair cost will
outweigh new
socket/prosthesis
– Begin Prosthetic
process
Soft Removable
Dressing
– Order/Call to see new
amputee for a
protective dressing,
shrinker and or
consultation
– F/u patient to
Surgeon removal of
sutures/staples
– Begin Prosthetic

Outcome Measures in Lower Limb Prosthetics
K-Levels
K-Levels: K-levels are defined by Medicare based on an individual's
ability or potential to ambulate and navigate their environment.
Once it is determined in which K-level an individual resides, it can
be determined which prosthetic components are covered by
Medicare.

K-level
Description
Foot/Ankle Assemblies
Knee Units
0-8
n/a
K0
Patient does NOT have the ability or potential to ambulate or transfer
w/o assistance & prosthesis does not enhance their quality of life or
mobility
Not Eligible
Not Eligible
9-20
15-26
K1
Has the ability or potential to use a prosthesis for transfers or
ambulation on level surfaces at fixed cadence. Typical of the limited
and unlimited household ambulatory.
External keel, SACH feet or single
axis/feet
Single-axis, constant friction
knee
21-28
27-36
K2
Has the ability or potential for ambulation with the ability to traverse
low level environmental barriers such as curbs, stairs or uneven
surfaces. Typical of the limited community ambulator.
Flexible-keel feet & multi-axial
ankle/foot
Polycentric, constant friction
knee
29-36
37-42
K3
Has the ability or potential for ambulation with variable cadence.
Flex foot, and flex-walk systems, energy Fluid & Pneumatic Control knee
Typical of the community ambulator who has the ability to transverse storing feet, multi-axial ankle/feet, or
most environmental barriers and may have vocational, therapeutic or
dynamic response feet
exercise activity that demands prosthetic utilization beyond simple
locomotion.
37-43
43-47
K4
Has the ability or potential for prosthetic ambulation that exceeds the
basic ambulation skills, exhibiting high impact, stress, or energy levels,
typical of the prosthetic demands of the child, active adult, or athlete
Any ankle foot system appropriate
Any knee system appropriate

Effect of wrong category of feet
• Premature failure
• Delayed/Absent Energy

• Bumpers require more
maintenance
• Gait Deviations
• Skin Breakdown

K1-Level Foot Selection
• K1-ability or potential to use a prosthesis for transfers
or ambulation on level surfaces at fixed cadence
K2-Level Foot Selection
• K2-Flexible-keel feet
and multi-axial
ankle/feet
K3-Level Foot Selection
• K3-energy storing feet,
multi-axial ankle/feet, or
dynamic response feet
K4-Level Foot Selection
