Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of the study is to assess the effects of prosthesis training with and without phantom exercises on pain, prosthesis satisfaction and ambulatory status of lower limb amputees treated with prosthesis training, phantom exercises and routine physical therapy.


Clinical Trial Description

Amputation is a catastrophic incident in a person's life which resulted in psychological, social and physical consequences. Loss of extremity resulted in negative impact on patient's body and perception as well. Phantom limb pain (PLP) can be defined by discomfort or pain in lost part of limb experienced by lower limb amputees. Phantom limb pain is physically and mentally draining condition which affects patient's daily activities like personal care and functional independence. Phantom limb pain is highly prevalent condition among lower limb amputees. It is associated with negative effect on mental and physical health conditions. There are studies conducted on prosthesis training for prosthesis satisfaction. However, according to researcher knowledge effects of prosthesis training along with phantom exercises have not been measured on prosthesis satisfaction. This study will encourage future studies on this topic and will help in developing state of art treatment of phantom limb discomfort associated with lower limb subtraction. As managing phantom discomfort can result in better prosthesis satisfaction and eventually ease the ambulatory status of patient. ;
