Plain-language summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of 6 weeks of the SMART Program on the walking capacity and confidence of individuals with unilateral lower limb amputation (LLA). Our primary hypothesis is that SMART can improve walking capacity in individuals with LLA. Our secondary hypothesis is that SMART can improve ambulation confidence, body function, depression, body image, pain, balance confidence, activities of daily living, satisfaction with life and habit formation for skin monitoring and prosthetic cleaning in individuals with LLA. A post-intervention one on one interview will be conducted to understand SMART acceptability. The entirety of the study, including intervention administration, assessment, and interviews will be conducted online.
