Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to assess patient's function after functional limb restoring surgery, performed after ablative tumour surgery or trauma. However, there are no studies as yet providing objective proof of the recovery of function after this type of surgery. This study will use 3D Gait Analysis, Environmental simulation and Patient Reported Outcome Measures to compare patients with function restoring surgery against patients without function restoring surgery.

- Non-functional muscle transfer group
- description
- Patients who have not undergone functional muscle transfer to restore function after tumour surgery or injury, in which the tumour surgery or injury has resulted in functional loss.
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Gait Profile Score (GPS)
- timeFrame
- Up to 10 years after surgery. From date of surgery, but after completion of post-operative rehabilitation at 6 months up to 10 years following surgery
- description
- Objective score from 3D Gait Analysis. This is a continuous score with no minimum or maximum score, where lower scores indicate better gait.
