The Relationship of Stump Length With Muscle Strength in Patients With Traumatic Unilateral Transfemoral Amputation

Amputation, Traumatic Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Relationship of Stump Length With Muscle Strength, Balance, and Proprioception in Patients With Traumatic Unilateral Transfemoral Amputation

Clinical Trial Summary

Amputation is the loss or removal of a body part such as an arm or leg. It is the last option in trauma treatment and irreversible procedure. Amputation rehabilitation begins in the pre-amputation period. The goal of rehabilitation after an amputation is to help the patient return to the highest level of function and independence possible, while improving the overall quality of life. Many factors can affect the success of lower limb amputation rehabilitation, and stump length is one of them. A sufficient stump length provides a large contact surface and increases the stability of the socket unit.

Clinical Trial Description

Amputation is the loss or removal of a body part such as an arm or leg. It is the last option in trauma treatment and irreversible procedure. Amputation rehabilitation begins in the pre-amputation period. The goal of rehabilitation after an amputation is to help the patient return to the highest level of function and independence possible, while improving the overall quality of life. Many factors can affect the success of lower limb amputation rehabilitation, and stump length is one of them. A sufficient stump length provides a large contact surface and increases the stability of the socket unit. People with unilateral transfemoral amputation have lost their knee and ankle joint. This causes a loss of proprioceptive feedback from the ankle joint, knee joint and related muscles. Muscle weakness, muscle atrophy and balance problems are common in amputee patients. There is not enough data to reveal the relationship between stump length and muscle strength, balance, and proprioception. The aim of this study to evaluate the relationship of stump length with muscle strength, balance, and proprioception in patients with traumatic unilateral transfemoral amputation. ;
