The Intrepid Dynamic Exoskeletal Orthosis (IDEO) is a custom, energy-storing carbon fiber orthosis developed for trauma patients undergoing limb salvage. The IDEO differs from other orthoses in that it allows patients with ankle weakness to have more normal ankle biomechanics and increased ankle power. This article describes the design of a study to evaluate the effectiveness of the IDEO when delivered together with a high-intensity, sports medicine\u2013based approach to rehabilitation. It builds on earlier studies by testing the program at military treatment facilities beyond the Brooke Army Medical Center and the Center for the Intrepid where the device was developed. The PRIORITI-MTF study is a multicenter before-after program evaluation where participants at least 1 year out from a traumatic lower extremity injury serve as their own controls. Participants are evaluated before receiving the IDEO, immediately after 4 weeks of physical therapy with the IDEO and at 6 and 12 months after the completion of physical therapy. Primary outcomes include functional performance, measured using well-validated assessments of speed, agility, power, and postural stability and self-reported functioning using the Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (SMFA) and the Veterans Health Survey (VR-12). Secondary outcomes include pain, depression, posttraumatic stress, and satisfaction with the IDEO.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1097\/bot.0000000000000795","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,23]],"date-time":"2017-03-23T02:34:35Z","timestamp":1490236475000},"page":"S56-S62","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Patient Response to an Integrated Orthotic and Rehabilitation Initiative for Traumatic Injuries: The PRIORITI-MTF Study"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Joseph R.","family":"Hsu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, Carolinas Medical Center, Charlotte, NC;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Johnny G.","family":"Owens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"San Antonio Military Medical Center, US Army Institute of Surgical Research, San Antonio, TX;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer","family":"DeSanto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Policy and Management, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John R.","family":"Fergason","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"San Antonio Military Medical Center, US Army Institute of Surgical Research, San Antonio, TX;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kevin M.","family":"Kuhn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Naval Medical Center San Diego, San Diego, CA;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benjamin K.","family":"Potter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, MD; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel J.","family":"Stinner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"San Antonio Military Medical Center, US Army Institute of Surgical Research, San Antonio, TX;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert G.","family":"Sheu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Naval Medical Center San Diego, San Diego, CA;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sandra L.","family":"Waggoner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, MD; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jason M.","family":"Wilken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"San Antonio Military Medical Center, US Army Institute of Surgical Research, San Antonio, TX;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanjie","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Policy and Management, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel O.","family":"Scharfstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ellen J.","family":"MacKenzie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Policy and Management, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, MD;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"METRC","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-20230828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"43","DOI":"10.1097\/BOT.0b013e31825121b6","article-title":"The mangled foot and ankle: results from a 2-year prospective study","volume":"27","author":"Ellington","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Orthop Trauma."},{"issue":"suppl 1","key":"R2-20230828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S1","DOI":"10.5435\/00124635-201102001-00002","article-title":"Battlefield orthopaedic injuries cause the majority of long-term disabilities","volume":"19","author":"Cross","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Am Acad Orthop Surg."},{"key":"R3-20230828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"628","DOI":"10.5435\/00124635-200811000-00003","article-title":"Extremity war injuries III session moderators.
