Correlation of Fluid Volume Changes in Residual Limbs Across Morning and Afternoon Sessions
This study investigates the relationships between rates of fluid volume change in residual limbs throughout a single day. It evaluates correlations between morning (AM) and afternoon (PM) session data, finding that AM data correlates moderately with between-session data (r=0.8), while PM data shows a strong correlation (r=0.9). The findings suggest that residual-limb volume fluctuations vary significantly within the day, highlighting the importance of timing in rehabilitation assessments. The research is detailed in Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development.

Figure 4. Relationships between rates of fluid volume change. (a) Morning (AM) session data correlated moderately well with between session data (r = 0.8). (b) Afternoon (PM) session data correlated strongly with between-session data (r = 0.9). Sanders JE, Allyn JK, Harrison DS, Myers TR, Ciol MA Tsai EC.
