• Earlier receipt of a prosthesis is associated with reduced spending in the 12 months post-amputation of approximately $25,000 compared with not receiving a prosthesis.
• The results of this study suggest that not providing or delaying the provision of a prosthesis increases costs by about 25%.
• iFIT can help facilitate fitting patients soon after amputation with the ability to be fit anywhere — hospital, nursing home, patient homes, etc. in a single session.
