Clinical Trial Summary

Studies have shown that Pilates exercises are one of the exercises that can improve breathing capacity, coordination, balance, flexibility, and muscular endurance. Pilates exercises improve walking and balance, reduce back pain and prevent further pain or injury. These are all common problems for people who have undergone lower extremity amputation. The aim of our study is to improve the pelvis-trunk coordination, gait symmetry, and balance on individuals who have undergone amputation and also to increase body awareness.


Clinical Trial Description

The patients will be randomly assigned to two groups. Clinical Pilates (CP) and Classic Physiotherapy (CF). Two groups will be Transfemoral and Transtibial amputees, one CP, and the other CF. Groups will be treated for a period of 12 weeks. The assessment will be made before the treatment and after 12 weeks. Patients will practise exercises 3 times a week, one time in clinics with a physiotherapist and 2 times as home exercise. In the clinical Pilates group, exercises that improve back extensor, trunk flexor, and pelvis stabilization will be applied along with breathing exercises. The classic group consists of straight leg raising, back extensors strengthening, abdominal strengthening exercises. Gait spatiotemporal parameters, balance, fall risk and mobility, functional capacity, core muscle endurance, and strength, the pain will be evaluated. Quality of life, body image, and also prosthesis satisfaction will be evaluated. ;
