About this trial
The aim of our research is to be able to use the questionnaire 'Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire' (PEQ) in Dutch. The PEQ is a validated and reliable questionnaire for research into the quality of life in adults with a lower limb prosthesis. The research consists of two phases. The first phase is the translation of the PEQ and the second phase is the validation of this questionnaire. To validate the questionnaire, we want to include 84 participants who have to complete questionnaires three times within a period of three months.

The participants were approached via a large orthopedic workshop (with several locations nationwide) by mail and via the national patient association KorterMaarKrachtig (KMK) through a request on the KMK-website, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook-page. An information letter was provided and adult lower limb prosthesis users were able to sign up by providing their email address via a registration link. The inclusion criteria are as mentioned above. The aim was to include 84 participants. For motivation and as a token of appreciation, participants received a compensation of 20 euros.
