The primary objective of this scoping review is to characterize rehabilitation programs for individuals with transfemoral amputation following the implantation of screw-type or press-fit osseointegrated fixations for bone-anchored prostheses.The secondary objective of this review is to describe partial weight bearing exercises including static and dynamic exercises as well as use of walking aids in each rehabilitation program for screw-type and press-fit fixations.The third objective of this review is to compare key rehabilitation parameters for various partial weight bearing exercises (e.g. type of training prosthesis, loading time and progression, monitoring of loading, loading direction, instructions given to patients and the use of loading regulators) within each program for screw-type and press-fit fixations (intra-variability) and between programs for screw-type and press-fit fixations (inter-variability).The specific review questions are.

The main purpose of this scoping review is to characterize loading information applied on the residuum of individuals with transfemoral amputation fitted with an osseointegrated fixation for bone-anchored prostheses.The objectives of this scoping review are: i) to map the scope of loading variables, and ii) to report the range of magnitude of loads that has been directly measured using a portable kinetic recording apparatus fitted at the distal end of the residuum during rehabilitation exercises, standardized and unscripted activities of daily living, and adverse events.The specific review questions are.
