Background: Understanding how prostheses are used in everyday life is central to the design, provision and evaluation of prosthetic devices and associated services. This paper reviews the scientific literature on methodologies and technologies that have been used to assess the daily use of both upper-and lower-limb prostheses. It discusses the types of studies that have been undertaken, the technologies used to monitor physical activity, the benefits of monitoring daily living and the barriers to long-term monitoring, with particular focus on low-resource settings. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL and EMBASE of studies that monitored the activity of prosthesis users during daily-living. Results: Sixty lower-limb studies and 9 upper-limb studies were identified for inclusion in the review. The first studies in the lower-limb field date from the 1990s and the number has increased steadily since the early 2000s. In contrast, the studies in the upper-limb field have only begun to emerge over the past few years. The early lowerlimb studies focused on the development or validation of actimeters, algorithms and/or scores for activity classification. However, most of the recent lower-limb studies used activity monitoring to compare prosthetic components. The lower-limb studies mainly used step-counts as their only measure of activity, focusing on the amount of activity, not the type and quality of movements. In comparison, the small number of upper-limb studies were fairly evenly spread between development of algorithms, comparison of everyday activity to clinical scores, and comparison of different prosthesis user populations. Most upper-limb papers reported the degree of symmetry in activity levels between the arm with the prosthesis and the intact arm. Conclusions: Activity monitoring technology used in conjunction with clinical scores and user feedback, offers significant insights into how prostheses are used and whether they meet the user's requirements. However, the cost, limited battery-life and lack of availability in many countries mean that using sensors to understand the daily use of prostheses and the types of activity being performed has not yet become a feasible standard clinical practice. This review provides recommendations for the research and clinical communities to advance this area for the benefit of prosthesis users.

“…TMB case reports published in peer reviewed journals are also an excellent resource for use as examples when preparing a TMB case report. In the past decade, TMB case reports have been published on ankylosing spondylitis (16) , cervical degenerative disk disease (17) , erythromelalgia (18) , lumbar fusion (19) , Lyme disease (20) , Morton's neuroma (21) , narcolepsy (13) , patellofemoral pain syndrome (14) , rheumatoid arthritis (22) , spinal cord injury (23) , and temporomandibular joint dysfunction (12) in the International Journal of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (IJTMB), and on abdominal pain (24) , diabetic neuropathy (25) , dwarfism (26) , fibular hemimelia (27) , low back pain (28) , lumbar spondylolisthesis (29) , and scoliosis (30) in The Journal of Movement and Bodywork Therapies. New case reports are published periodically in both of these Journals and both consider the publication of case reports as valuable contributions to their Journal and the TMB field (31)(32)(33) .…”

“…71 The lifestyle interventions for lower-limb prosthesis users were aimed at promoting physical activity, 67,69,81 providing rehabilitation 86 or providing massage. 80 These all showed positive outcomes, from increased daily step counts 67 to weight loss 81 and decreased pain levels. 101 Of the 17 papers that compared activity levels of lower-limb prosthesis users to clinical scores, most compared the recorded physical activity to the K-level scores and found good correlation.…”
