With the initiation of prosthesis use following lower extremity amputations, the body shows biomechanical changes according to the amputation level, and as a result, it develops adaptation mechanisms on both the healthy and ampute sides. It has been reported that the most common secondary pathology caused by these mechanisms developed to compensate the amputated side is lower back pain and adaptation mechanisms vary according to the presence of pain. Adaptation strategies in transfemoral amputees cause permanent changes in the connective tissue structure properties of the toracolumbar region and reduce the contribution of these structures to dynamic stability. It has been reported that with the fascia correction technique, one of the kinesiological taping techniques, the connective tissue fiber alignment can be rearranged and the degree of stiffness can be reduced. Before the intervention, biomechanical properties of the toracolumbar region structures with MyotonPro and postural stability measurements with TekScan will be taken.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Measurement of Postural Stability | The center of gravity displacement (cm2) will be measured at standing position on force platform during 30sn | Changes from baseline of center of gravity displacement at following 6 minutes walking test, at immediately after kinesiology tape applying and at 30. minutes following kinesiology tape applying. | |
Primary | Measurement of Stiffness | Stiffness of throcalumbar fascia will be measured using a myometer (MyotonPro, Myoton AS, Tallinn, Estonia). | Changes from baseline of stifness of thoracolumbal fascia at following 6 minutes walking test, at immediately after kinesiology tape applying and at 30. minutes following kinesiology tape applying. | |
Primary | Measurement of Creep | Creep value of throcalumbar fascia will be measured using a myometer (MyotonPro, Myoton AS, Tallinn, Estonia). | Changes from baseline of creep of thoracolumbal fascia at following 6 minutes walking test, at immediately after kinesiology tape applying and at 30. minutes following kinesiology tape applying | |
Secondary | Low back pain | Low back pain will be measured by Visual Analog Scale between 0 (no pain) and 10 (the most severe pain) | Changes from baseline of low back pain at following 6 minutes walking test, at immediately after kinesiology tape applying and at 30. minutes following kinesiology tape applying. |
