Filter by:Lower limb amputation is a factor that changes the individual's weight transfer, gait pattern, and trunk balance. This change plantar pressure distribution of both side and cause a series of problems to be exposed over time according to level of amputation. The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between amputation level-postural balance and amputation level-plantar pressure distribution.
The aim of this study was to investigate the physical activity and related factors of individuals with lower extremity amputation. Participants in the study who have signed a voluntary consent form will be informed about the study first.Then, demographic information form will be started to be recorded in order to inform the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants and the information about amputation and prosthesis. The participants will be given the Timed Up and Go Test, L Test, Functional Reach Test and 2 Minute Walk Test. Following these tests, participants will continue with the scales to be answered by the participants themselves.These are respectively; Activity-Specific Balance Confidence Scale, Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scale and Amputee Body Image Scale.Before the data is collected, individuals will be informed about the equipment to be used in the tests.An adequate number of trials will be conducted before the evaluation and use of the equipment in order to be familiar with the equipment. All assessments will be made by the same physiotherapist.
The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracies of the Patient Activity Monitor to that of a standard pedometer during a walking task and some day-to-day activities in a simulated apartment setting.
The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that silicone suction suspension without additional belt support does not significantly diminish the postural sway or walking performance of persons with transfemoral amputation.
