Muscle architecture shapes muscle function and changes with age, growth, training and disease, yet quantifying three-dimensional (3D) muscle architecture in vivo remains challenging. We introduce a hybrid fascicle tractography approach for freehand 3D ultrasound data that accurately reconstructs 3D muscle fascicles with respect to an objective, anatomically relevant coordinate system defined by the muscle's central aponeurosis. The hybrid approach combines Hessian-based fascicle detection with wavelet-based refinement to generate volumetric fascicle orientations. In a synthetic dataset with known ground truth, fascicle orientations and lengths were estimated with errors of [≤]2{degrees} and ~1.5%, respectively. In vivo, the approach detected physiologically plausible fascicle lengthening in the human tibialis anterior following a passive plantar flexion rotation, whereas diffusion tensor imaging of the same muscle did not. The proposed method enables anatomically relevant, objective and non-invasive quantification of 3D muscle architecture in vivo, providing a practical framework for applications in clinical and applied muscle physiology.

Cerebral hemodynamics are difficult to monitor continuously outside the laboratory. Optical head-worn wearables have been proposed for tracking cerebral blood-flow signals, but they require comparison with an established cerebrovascular reference before they can be interpreted. We evaluated a temple-worn optical wearable, Temple, that outputs a proprietary, dimensionless Brain Flow index, intended as a proxy for relative changes in cerebral hemodynamics, against transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound, which measures blood-flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery (MCAv). Twenty-three healthy adults completed two physiological challenges that elicit distinct and acute cerebral hemodynamic responses: a cycle-ergometer exercise protocol and a stand-to-supine postural transition protocol. Twenty participants were analyzed per protocol. The Brain Flow index tracked MCAv in both protocols, with significant within-subject temporal correlations (median Pearson r = 0.795 and 0.799 for exercise and postural transition; p < 0.001) and directionally concordant, statistically significant transition responses for both increases and decreases in flow. Bland-Altman analysis of the normalized transition responses showed small mean biases between the two devices, consistent with similar relative response shapes. Because both signals were standardized within session before this comparison, it addresses the shape of the relative change rather than agreement in absolute units. The Brain Flow index reproduced the direction and time course of MCAv under both perturbations, including the postural transition, where heart rate moved in the opposite direction. Further studies using complementary modalities and additional cerebrovascular reactivity challenges are required to establish clinical use cases and cerebral specificity of the Brain Flow index.

Breast cancer survivors frequently experience upper-limb impairments, making continuous monitoring essential for effective rehabilitation. We propose REINA (Recognize-Then-Infer Wearable-to-App AI Framework), a two-stage deep-learning approach for remote monitoring of motor function during breast cancer rehabilitation using wearable-device data. Inertial measurement unit (IMU) signals from wearable devices are first used to recognize physical activities via supervised learning, followed by an activity-specific recurrent neural network (RNN) to infer corresponding electromyography (EMG) signals. REINA establishes reliable inference of neuromuscular activity from wearable IMU data, enabling real-time, cost-effective assessment of motor function recovery in real-world settings.

Coronary flow waveforms have a distinct diastolic-dominant shape with periods of low or retrograde flow during systole. While the general waveform shape has been attributed to complex interactions between cardiac and vascular mechanics, there is limited research into the variability in coronary flow waveforms and what this variability may reveal about cardiac function. This work presents a shape analysis of left anterior descending artery (LAD) flow waveforms using Fourier transforms and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) performed on baseline data collected from 32 pigs. Pigs included in the study reflect two breeds (Ossabaw and Yorkshire) and three different experimental conditions (lean-control, lean-paced, and obese-paced). Fourier transforms were used to decompose the waveforms into 15 harmonics for each pig. An SVD analysis is then used to extract temporal patterns of the waveforms. Correlations between pig-specific coefficients for the SVD modes and clinical metrics were used to investigate physiological explanations of LAD waveform variability. Temporal LAD flow patterns of the second SVD mode are significantly correlated with heart rate. The third SVD mode significantly correlates with mean blood pressure and maximum hyperemic flow. Furthermore, the fourth SVD mode is weakly correlated with left-ventricular end diastolic pressure and endocardial-epicardial flow ratios. This work demonstrates that LAD flow waveforms can be broken down into temporal patterns that correlate with physiological features. Furthermore, this shape-analysis method allows for waveform reconstruction and simplifies visualization of the temporal patterns identified using SVD, an advantage over existing methods that focus on characterizing flow waveforms by points of interest.

Static force plates (FP) are the gold standard for measuring ground reaction forces (GRF) and computing joint moments through inverse dynamics in gait analysis. However, they are restricted to controlled environments, and the number of steps analyzed is limited by the plates embedded in the floor. To address these limitations, portable solutions such as sensorized insoles, socks, or shoes have emerged. Yet, creating wearable systems capable of measuring three-dimensional GRF in real-world conditions remains challenging. Current sensorized shoes often incorporate thick sensors (up to 2 cm), reducing usability and limiting their application in pathological populations or dynamic tasks like running. This study evaluates the usability of ShokacShoes, a novel sensorized shoe integrating three thin, three-dimensional force sensors, and explores its potential as a Wearable Force Plate (WFP). Eight healthy participants performed slow, natural, and fast walking using two insole configurations. Force and temporal metrics were derived from WFP and FP data. Results indicate that WFP enables accurate step segmentation and detects significant effects of speed and insole type on temporal and force metrics, confirming its reliability under different walking conditions. Comparisons with FP revealed differences in force metrics and signal morphology, though temporal parameters remained consistent. These results are likely due to sensor quantity and positioning. Thereby, ShokacShoes represent a valid solution capable of measuring three-dimensional forces within commercial footwear. Future work will focus on validating the applicability of a new version of ShokacShoes against gold-standard FP in a comprehensive validation study involving diverse real-world scenarios and pathological conditions.

Three-dimensional (3D) mural cell morphology is heterogeneous and coupled to vessel geometry, however, measurements from two-dimensional (2D) maximum intensity projections (MIP) obscure overlapping processes and cell-vessel contacts. Accordingly, we developed Mural-VISTA, a semi-automated Python workflow for mural cell-vessel interaction and single-cell topo-morphology analysis of reconstructed surface meshes. This workflow integrates mesh pretreatment, interactive centerline extraction, hierarchical segmentation of cell soma, main axis and secondary processes (branches), and extraction of 36 multiscale (cell process segment level, process level, and whole cell level) topo-morphological and vessel-referenced metrics. Mural-VISTA identified morphological changes in pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs) with altered RhoA activity. Constitutive active RhoA (RhoA CA) over-expression reduced branch complexity and increased process alignment in both cell types, while increased whole-cell and branch solidity only in vSMCs. Dominant negative RhoA (RhoA DN) over-expression increased branch abundance and reduced branch solidity in pericytes but not vSMCs, suggesting cell-type specific effect of reduced RhoA activity. In conclusion, Mural-VISTA enables quantitative 3D profiling of mural cell architecture and its spatial relationship with the vessel.

Stroke remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability worldwide, yet rapid diagnosis is often limited by the shortage of trained radiologists, particularly in resource-constrained settings. Automated analysis of CT imaging offers a potential solution, but existing methods often struggle to achieve clinically generalisable performance while jointly addressing multiple diagnostic tasks. Here we present the Intelligent Integrated Stroke Diagnosis System IISDS, an end-to-end deep learning framework built upon StrokeGNN, a graph-based architecture that integrates 3D contextual feature extraction with U-Net-based 2D lesion segmentation to enable comprehensive stroke analysis from non-contrast CT scans. IISDS performs stroke subtype classification, lesion segmentation and lesion volume estimation within a unified pipeline. To develop and validate the system, we collected and curated BGD-ISD through a collaboration between AI researchers, neurologists, radiologists and clinicians, resulting in a large multi-centre dataset comprising 1,507 CT scans from 597 stroke cases acquired across six hospitals and medical centres in Bangladesh. Across BGD-ISD and multiple publicly available datasets, IISDS achieves state-of-the-art performance on all tasks, improving segmentation accuracy by [&ge;]0.011 Dice score, reducing lesion volume estimation error by [&ge;]0.3 average symmetric surface distance (ASSD), and increasing classification performance by [&ge;]0.018 area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) compared with existing approaches. These results demonstrate the potential of graph-based deep learning to enable clinically generalisable, automated and scalable stroke diagnosis from CT imaging, supporting rapid clinical decision-making, particularly in healthcare environments with limited access to expert radiological interpretation.

Purpose: The primary objective of the Stanford Knee Osteoarthritis PET/MRI Evaluation (SKOPE) study is to develop and evaluate a multimodal, dynamic [18F]NaF PET-MRI framework for characterizing whole-joint physiology and its relationship to osteoarthritis (OA) risk, pain, and disease progression. Specifically, we aim to integrate dynamic PET with quantitative and anatomical MRI, to characterize structural, compositional, and metabolic features across the knee and surrounding musculoskeletal system, evaluate acute tissue responses to exercise, and identify imaging biomarkers associated with OA risk, pain, and disease progression. Methods: The SKOPE study includes multimodal PET-MRI of the knee and surrounding musculoskeletal tissues, with imaging of the knee, tibia, ankle, thigh, hip, pelvis, and lumbosacral spine. Dynamic [18F]NaF PET is combined with conventional anatomical MRI and quantitative MRI techniques, including quantitative double-echo steady-state (qDESS) T2 mapping of cartilage, Dixon fat-fraction imaging, ultrashort echo time (UTE) T2* mapping of short-T2 tissues, UTE imaging of tibial bone, and zero echo time (ZTE) imaging for bone morphology and pseudo-CT generation. Additional MRI sequences characterize muscle composition, bone and joint anatomy, intervertebral discs, and regional vascular anatomy. Selected scans are acquired before and after a standardized exercise protocol to assess the acute physiological response of the joint. Automated segmentation is used to generate subject-specific masks of muscles, bones, vertebrae, and intervertebral discs. A subset of the MRI protocol is repeated at 1- and 2-year follow-up to assess longitudinal changes. Expected Impact: By combining dynamic bone metabolic imaging with quantitative measures of cartilage, menisci, muscle, bone, fat, vascular structures, and the spine and hip, the SKOPE protocol provides a whole-joint and multijoint framework for studying the structural, metabolic, and physiological processes associated with OA and pain. Exercise and longitudinal imaging further enable assessment of acute tissue responses and changes over time, supporting the development of quantitative imaging biomarkers for OA risk, pain, and disease progression.

Objective: Published P300-speller fusion schemes fix prior trust regardless of trial reliability; we tested whether a reliability estimate improves on it. Methods: We reanalyzed 3,373 archived P300-speller selections from 47 people with ALS (BigP3BCI). A fair, matched-search-space comparison, tuning both a fixed weight and an adaptive policy out-of-fold, was evaluated across 22 evaluable language-model priors up to 46.7B parameters. Two representative priors, GPT-2 and a classical 5-gram, additionally received detailed naive and mechanistic analyses. Results: No prior's 95% CI favored adaptive fusion under the fair comparison, despite unexploited oracle headroom at every scale. Under GPT-2, the naive comparison was significantly worse for adaptive fusion; both anchors converged to a degenerate or near-degenerate fair-comparison solution. For the representative anchors, three further controllers failed to convert that headroom into benefit; the fixed-fused posterior's output probability outperformed the best controller for flagging errors (2.8- to 3.8-fold enrichment). Conclusion: A tuned fixed weight is a difficult-to-beat default across the tested scale range; reliability estimation gave no deployable adaptive advantage. Significance: Adaptive weighting should be validated against a fairly tuned baseline across model families and scales; in this dataset, the fused output's confidence identified high-risk selections better than the tested purpose-built ranker.

Current approaches for imaging fibrotic remodeling have sensitivity, specificity and cost drawbacks that limit both preclinical research and clinical diagnosis. Here, we show that fast green FCF, a small molecule that binds to fibrillar collagen, enables highly sensitive and specific imaging of fibrosis in lung samples from mice and humans using fluorescence microscopy. We report strategies for using fast green FCF staining to assess fibrotic remodeling using precision-cut lung slice and whole-biopsy preparations. Our findings demonstrate that fluorescence imaging of fast green FCF-stained collagen will be useful for fibrosis research and may help to improve detection of fibrosis in clinical pathology.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) alters spinal geometry and may influence the biomechanical response of the spine during functional postures. However, posture-dependent changes in spinal loading and paraspinal muscle forces in AIS remain poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of trunk posture on intervertebral loading and paraspinal muscle forces using a subject-specific musculoskeletal model of an adolescent with AIS. The spinal deformity was reconstructed from biplanar radiographs and incorporated into a full-body musculoskeletal model. Flexion, extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation were simulated at three incremental magnitudes, with motion distributed across the thoracolumbar spine. Intervertebral compressive and lateral forces around the curve apex and forces in the erector spinae (ES) and multifidus (MF) muscles were evaluated. Trunk flexion produced the greatest compressive loading, reaching 337 N at the curve apex and 372 N two levels below the apex at 30{degrees} flexion. Lateral bending produced pronounced direction-dependent loading: concave-side bending increased lateral forces, whereas convex-side bending increased compressive forces. Axial rotation produced similar but smaller direction-dependent changes. Paraspinal muscle forces were consistently asymmetric, with concave-side dominance of the ES and convex-side dominance of the MF. Flexion and convex-sided movements generally produced greater muscle imbalance, while increasing posture magnitude amplified spinal loading and muscle forces. These findings demonstrate that trunk posture, movement direction, and magnitude substantially influence the biomechanical environment of the scoliotic spine and should be considered when evaluating spinal mechanics in AIS.

Cardiac imaging enables quantitative assessment of cardiac structure and function but remains constrained by cost, infrastructure and specialist expertise. In contrast, electrocardiogram (ECG) is widely accessible yet underexploited, despite encoding latent information about cardiac physiology. Here we introduce visionECG, a conditional flow matching framework that learns a probabilistic mapping between two biological distributions - the space of cardiac electrical signals and the space of cardiac geometries. Using 71,132 paired ECG and cardiac mesh sequence datasets from the UK Biobank, with external assessment in 5,000 patients with ECG-echocardiogram pairs, the model reconstructs quantitatively accurate spatiotemporal representations of the left ventricle using ECG inputs and basic demographic information alone. These reconstructions enable discrimination of structural abnormalities and disease labels, provide visualisations of functional abnormalities, and support flexible quantification of both global and regional parameters. By reframing the ECG as a generative source of patient-specific left ventricular geometry and motion, this work establishes a scalable framework for translating low-dimensional signals into high-dimensional, physiologically grounded structured representations.

A new electrical stimulation focused computational model of the visual cortex had been created to aid in the development of cortical visual prosthesis. The model consists of 10,666 biophysical neurons representing 0.13mm3 of a layer 2/3 of the primary visual cortex and was calibrated to match the baseline activity of rat brain recordings. A novel model of electrical stimulation was developed to allow for selective activation of specific neuron types, and matched the single cell stimulation response generated by known stimulation models. The electrode was tuned to match recorded population level change in activity across distances and currents recorded in the rats brain. The model is now ready to explore electrical stimulation effects on the visual cortex for examination of neuron specific stimulation to assist in the development of cortical visual prosthesis.

Objective and scalable approaches for detecting subtle motor impairment in isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), a prodromal stage of Parkinson's disease, remain limited. We investigated whether markerless motion capture from single RGB-camera videos can identify gait abnormalities in people living with iRBD and provide interpretable digital biomarkers. We retrospectively analyzed 93 standardized walking videos from three clinical sites. Human pose estimation extracted 12 body markers and 14 kinematic time series. Thirty-five machine learning approaches classified healthy controls (HC) and people with iRBD. The Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part 3 (MDS-UPDRS III) served as the clinical baseline. The best-performing model (tsfresh+XGBoost) achieved an AUROC of 0.739, significantly outperforming the MDS-UPDRS III sum score when trained on data from all three sites. Harmonized multi-site training improved performance. SHAP identified hip-related temporal features as key contributors, which differed between groups and showed stronger associations with regional dopaminergic deficits than clinical scores. Single-camera gait analysis may provide scalable digital biomarkers for low-cost screening and monitoring of prodromal PD.

Objectives: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is widely used to probe corticospinal excitability by eliciting motor evoked potential (MEP)s in targeted muscles, with MEP characteristics such as magnitude and latency reflecting the physiological state of the pathways being stimulated. Although numerous studies have examined MEP reliability in upper extremity muscles, less is known about the reliability of this measurement across the lower extremity. We hypothesized that inter-session, test-retest reliability of MEPs recorded simultaneously from multiple lower-limb muscles, from a single TMS location, would differ by muscle, stimulation intensity, and quantification method. Materials and Methods: Ten healthy participants (5 males, 5 females) completed three TMS sessions separated by atleast one week. At each session, the stimulation hotspot was identified using a five-location virtual grid anchored at the vertex, with electromyography (EMG) recorded from all eight muscles of interest at each grid location; the grid location producing the largest and most consistent MEPs in the tibialis anterior (TA), the primary target muscle, was selected as the stimulation site and held constant across all three sessions. MEPs were then recorded bilaterally from the TA, soleus, rectus femoris, and biceps femoris muscles at two stimulation intensities (110% and 120% resting motor threshold (RMT)). MEP size was quantified using mean rectified magnitude and peak-to-peak amplitude, and inter-session reliability was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Bland-Altman analysis was used to characterize the range of measurement variability across all eight muscles. Results: MEP size differed across sessions, and reliability varied by muscle, intensity, and quantification method. The highest reliability was observed in the right TA, the muscle used to establish the stimulation hotspot, using mean rectified magnitude at 120% RMT. Reliability was comparatively lower in the seven non-target muscles recorded from the same fixed stimulation site, indicating that MEP consistency was not uniform across the lower-limb musculature. Conclusions: MEP reliability in the lower extremity depends heavily on the muscle, stimulation intensity, and quantification method used, and is highest in the muscle for which the stimulation site was optimized. These findings support the interpretation that coil positioning targeted to a specific muscle yields more consistent responses in that muscle than in others recorded from the same fixed site, and underscore the importance of careful muscle selection and hotspot optimization when designing TMS protocols for longitudinal or clinical lower-limb research.

Cross-sectional studies suggest associations between physical exercise and white matter in older adults, but evidence from randomized controlled trials is scarce. Neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging indices are biophysically informed metrics of white matter microstructure. Here, we tested whether a remotely delivered, 8-week multicomponent physical exercise intervention impacts neurite density (NDI) and orientation dispersion (ODI) across major white matter tracts in older adults. This secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial included participants with available diffusion MRI data (n = 66; age: 66.4 {+/-} 3.6 y; 43 females). Participants were randomized to a multicomponent exercise (PAG, n = 34) or an active control (CON, n = 32) intervention. Intervention effects on NDI/ODI were tested using linear mixed-effects and Bayesian multilevel models adjusted for age and sex. A significant Timepoint x Group interaction was observed for NDI (p = 0.003) but not for ODI (p = 0.785), further confirmed in Bayesian analyses for 22 white matter tracts, indicating a greater increase in NDI in the PAG. The standardized composite VO2max score increased from pre- to post-intervention within the PAG, although the Timepoint x Group interaction was not significant (p = 0.079). Across all participants, pre-to-post changes in mean NDI were positively correlated with changes in VO2max, but this association did not differ between groups. Our results indicate that white matter microstructure remains responsive to short-term, multicomponent physical exercise in older adults.

Study design Retrospective cohort study. Objectives To correlate Hounsfield unit (HU) values, using elliptical regions of interest (ROI), that can be easily defined in routine clinical practice with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) T2-hyperintense area fraction, as a surrogate for paraspinal muscle fat infiltration and to establish specific HU screening thresholds that may be applied with standard picture archiving and communication system (PACS). Methods We included 136 patients (71 men; 61.0 {+/-} 15.4 years) who underwent preoperative computed tomography (CT) and MRI within an 8-week period. Elliptical ROI HU values were measured at L2/3 and L4/5 for erector spinae, multifidus, and psoas major. MRI T2-hyperintense area fraction (Otsu thresholding) served as the fat infiltration reference. Linear mixed-effects (LME) models were used to assess the HU-T2 association and level-specific receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses (lower HU value side; n=136 per muscle-level) to identify thresholds for [&ge;]30% and [&ge;]50% infiltration criteria. Results Intraclass coefficients = 0.709 (HU) and 0.857 (T2 fraction); Goutallier weighted kappa = 0.579. In the overall LME, {beta} was -0.880 HU per 1% T2-fraction increase (95% confidence interval -0.935 to -0.825; marginal R2 =0.502); the association was steeper in multifidus ({beta} = -1.020) than in erector spinae ({beta} = -0.753). Psoas major (R = -0.226) was excluded from ROC analyses. Difference between L2/3 and L4/5 HU cutoffs was ~20 HU. The [&ge;]50% criterion revealed higher discrimination. Conclusions Elliptical ROI-based HU measurements may reliably screen paraspinal muscle fat infiltration in erector spinae and multifidus using standard PACS. Specific thresholds may allow practical preoperative evaluation without additional costs or radiation.

Impaired gait performance and stability is a key symptom often defining disease outcome in people with Multiple Sclerosis. Step-by-step foot placement control in response to variations in the center-of-mass kinematic state is a crucial gait stability mechanism, especially in the mediolateral direction. Even though it is known that people with Multiple Sclerosis are at an increased risk of falling, step-by-step foot placement control remains to be characterized in this population. Here, we explored characteristic foot placement control in ten people with early stage Multiple Sclerosis, compared to 21 controls walking at a similar average gait speed, during 1-minute steady-state treadmill walking. Kinematic data were analyzed using a linear feedback model that correlated foot placement with the center-of-mass kinematic state during the preceding swing phase. People with Multiple Sclerosis demonstrated step-by-step foot placement control in both the mediolateral and anteroposterior directions. No differences were found in foot placement precision between groups. However, foot placement responses to variations in center-of-mass velocity proved stronger in people with Multiple Sclerosis. Moreover, the contribution of mediolateral center-of-mass velocity feedback to the control mechanism was higher in people with Multiple Sclerosis as compared to neurologically healthy controls. Our results suggest that foot placement control is still retained in early clinically evident stages of Multiple Sclerosis, but is realized through differently weighted sensory feedback control.

Background Mirror therapy (MT)-specifically paradigms using mirror visual feedback (MVF)-is widely used in neurorehabilitation; however, mechanistic implementations vary substantially in movement content, rhythmicity and attentional demands. This protocol describes an acute mechanistic, within-participant fNIRS screening study designed to compare three prespecified upper-limb mirror-therapy task paradigms and to quantify associated subjective experience after each condition in healthy adults during a single visit. Methods and analysis This is a single-centre, within-participant, randomised crossover study conducted at Wuhan Wuchang Hospital (Wuhan, China). Healthy adults aged 18-35 years will complete three task conditions once each in a counterbalanced order using a 3*3 Latin-square scheme: UMT1 (task-oriented rhythmic functional movement), UMT2 (open-ended free movement with auditory control), and UMT3 (non-functional rhythmic movement). fNIRS will be acquired using the NirSmart-6000A system during a standardised block design. The primary outcome is ROI-level HbO activation quantified as GLM-derived {beta} estimates within the prespecified primary ROIs (bilateral SM1/M1 and bilateral PMC). Secondary outcomes include ROI-level windowed {Delta}HbO (5-20 s post-onset relative to the immediately preceding rest; descriptive only), ROI-level {Delta}HbR, and post-condition subjective ratings (illusion, immersion, confusion and fatigue; 1-7 Likert). Condition effects will be analysed using linear mixed-effects models with fixed effects for condition and period and prespecified multiplicity-adjusted pairwise contrasts. Ethics and dissemination Ethics approval was obtained from the Ethics Committee of Wuchang Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University of Science and Technology (Approval No.: 2025-112-01; approved on 2025-08-21). The study is expected to be minimal risk. Findings will be disseminated through publication of this protocol manuscript and subsequent results manuscripts and conference presentations. Trial registration number Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2600116634). This study is conducted as a prespecified mechanistic sub-study under the overarching registered project.

Purpose: Lower-limb prosthesis use involves interacting physical, psychosocial, and device-related outcomes that may not be fully captured by conventional clinical assessment. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a stakeholder-informed framework of outcome domains relevant to meaningful everyday prosthesis use. Materials and Methods: A mixed-methods participatory design comprised a structured synthesis of selected clinically relevant content from five established patient-reported outcome measures; semi-structured interviews and importance and actionability ratings with 18 contributors (12 prosthesis users, four clinicians, and two industrial partners); and integration of the synthesis, qualitative, and rating findings. Interview records were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis, and ratings were analysed descriptively. Results: The resulting framework comprised four interrelated domains: Mobility, Physical Function, Psychosocial Wellbeing, and Prosthesis Experience. Mobility showed the clearest convergence across stakeholder perspectives. Prosthesis users showed the largest importance actionability gap for Prosthesis Experience (4.5 vs 3.0), whereas clinicians showed the largest gap for Psychosocial Wellbeing (5.0 vs 3.0). Interviews highlighted day-to-day variability in prosthesis use and the influence of confidence, fatigue, comfort, environmental conditions, social context, and device usability. Conclusions: Meaningful outcome assessment in prosthetic rehabilitation should extend beyond mobility alone to consider physical function, psychosocial wellbeing, and prosthesis experience within everyday contexts. The proposed framework provides a stakeholder-informed foundation for multidimensional outcome assessment in prosthetic rehabilitation.
