Looking at the real-world impact of the Agilik lower-limb orthosis on user quality of life and mobility.

This project aims to improve the uptake and provide further efficacy evidence of Bionic Power Incorporated’s Agilik lower-limb orthosis in Canada. To fulfill this goal, baseline predictors of long-term health-related quality of
life associated with the Agilik’s treatment of knee flexion-extension impairment will be identified through an observational prospective cohort study, looking at real-world impacts of the device on new users. The study
outcomes will guide user recruitment and showcase the relationship between functional mobility and overall well-being in the context of the Agilik’suse. The second phase of the project involves analyzing and improving
the process of obtaining and using BPI’s Agilik through an implementation science approach. Analysis of the device’s procural process and use on clinical, regulatory, and patient levels, as well as future recommendations
for accessibility and uptake into common practice will be documented. Thisinformation will be used to advise BPI’s regulatory and developmental work.
