The iFIT system can help get patients fit faster. iFIT’s stability, strength and durability allows for immediate and early ambulation. Study: Miller, T.A., Paul, R., Forthofer, M. and Wurdeman, S.R., 2020. The Role of Earlier Receipt of a Lower Limb Prosthesis on Emergency Department Utilization. PM&R. Oct 3.
