Brief Summary

The people with transfemoral amputation who use mechanical prosthesis will be include to this study. All participants will be assessed and then they will be randomly assigned to two groups. both groups will receive traditional balance trainnig. Study group will also receive dual task balance training. Training will take 4 weeks, 3 days a week. After the training program, both groups will be assessed again and the results will compare.
