NCT ID: NCT04644991 Completed - Clinical trials for Transfemoral Amputees

The Effect of Kinesiology Taping on Lumbar Region Structures and Balance in Transfemoral Amputees

Start date: March 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.

Thigh Reduction Surgery of Above Knee Amputee Residual Limbs to Improve Prosthesis Fit and Patient Outcomes

Start date: August 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of our study is to improve the fit and function of prosthetic sockets for above the knee amputees through the use of an outpatient thigh reduction surgical procedure.
