Brief Summary

Twenty individuals who were referred to receive physiotherapy will be participants of the study. Participants with lower limb loss will evaluate with the following assessment tools: Demographic datas; age, gender, height, body mass, year, side and level of limb loss will be recorded. Gait parameters (step length, variation of step length) will evaluate with Gait Trainer Biodex 2, at participant's preferred speed.Phantom sensation and phantom pain will be asked as existence or not. Sensorial loss will evaluate with Semmes Weinstein Monofilaments

Conditions

Amputation, Traumatic

Keywords

Limb Loss; Gait Variability; Phantom Sensation; Phantom Pain; Peripheral Sensation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Step length variability assesment while walking.

  Gait parameters (step length, variation of step length) will be evaluated with Gait Trainer Biodex 2, at participant's preferred speed. To eliminate the learning effect, participants practiced at treadmill to determine appropriate gait speed. Once participants implied the preferred speed, they asked to walk at their self selected speed for 6 minutes. Data was recorded between the 2nd and 4th minutes at walk.

  Initially evaluation at first minute

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Phantom sensation and phantom pain assessment

  Initially evaluation at first minute

• Sensory test

  Initially evaluation at first minute

Study Arms (1)

Unilateral Lower Limb Loss

Individuals with unilateral lower limb loss will be participants of the group.

Other: No intervention

Interventions
