Clinical Trial Summary

This study will investigate the effects of Whole-body vibration without visual feedback on postural steadiness in unilateral trans-femoral traumatic amputees. This study will be carried out at the outpatient clinic of the faculty of physical therapy, modern university for technology and information, and El Wafaa wel Amal hospital. All participants will sign a written consent form after receiving full information about the purpose of the study, procedure, possible benefits, privacy, and use of data.


Clinical Trial Description

The postural steadiness is the dynamics of the postural control system associated with maintaining balance during quiet standing and usually assessed by the displacement of the centre of pressure (COP). The control of posture is maintained by a complex sensory-motor system, which integrates information from the visual, proprioceptive, vestibular and somato-sensory systems. In the case of a unilateral trans femoral amputee, the individual becomes structurally asymmetrical, as there is an altered sensation and a loss of musculature on the amputated side. Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a therapeutic method that exposes the entire body to mechanical oscillations while the patient stands or sits on a vibrating platform. This method was used in rehabilitation to improve muscle function, joint stability, balance control and to reduce the risk of falling. Whole-body vibration (WBV) training helps to improve the dysfunction of the nervous system and musculoskeletal system diseases, to prevent and relieve osteoporosis in the elderly, and to promote sports injury recovery and improve sports performance. But till now there is no judgment concerning the difference and significance of Whole-body vibration without visual feedback on postural steadiness in unilateral trans-femoral traumatic amputees. ;
