Investigating The Effect of Phantom Sensation on Gait in Individuals With Unilateral Below-Knee Amputation

Start date: January 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Amputation is a problem that can be encountered for many reasons, can cause functional disability in varying severities and puts a multifaceted financial burden on individuals, society, and states. The phantom feeling is the state of the sensory sensation of a limb that does not already exist and is observed in various forms in individuals with amputation. The aim of this project is to investigate whether the phantom sensation affects autocorrelation of gait in unilateral amputated individuals and thus to determine whether the phantom sensation is a functional sensation that affects the multifaceted nature of gait. In addition, the measurement of whether phantom sensation contributes to the ability of amputees to adapt to changing conditions and obtaining a unique calculation method that determines autocorrelation are other specific aspects of the study. The study will be conducted on individuals with unilateral traumatic transtibial amputation who have acceptable phantom sensation, individuals with no-phantom sensation and healthy individuals. Individuals who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the gait assessment. During the evaluation, at least 512 consecutive steps will be collected from each individual when walking on the treadmill at their preferred speed. The walk test will then be repeated on the perturbation treadmill of 5-10%. It will be determined whether the gait characteristics obtained by gait analysis show autocorrelation by using signal processing methods.
