NCT04325516

Brief Summary

The team will investigate the user's intention to move by using cortical activity during a sit to stand movement performance in people with a transfemoral amputation and able-bodied individuals. The goal is to get insights in pre-movement onset indicators within the brain that initiate the sit to stand transfer. The hypothesis is that people with a transfemoral amputation use different brain locations for motion planning compared to able-bodied individuals.

Eligibility Criteria

Age25 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age: 25 - 75 years
  • Gender: men and women
  • Level of amputation: unilateral transfemoral
  • Vascular or traumatic cause of amputation
  • Medicare Functional Classification Level25: K3-4
  • Participants are able to stand up from a chair and return to the seated position without support of their hands for ten repetitions
  • Participants wear their prosthesis for at least 8 hours/day (Prosthetic use has been shown to have an influence on functional reorganization)
  • No cognitive impairment. This will be objectified with the mini-mental state examination (score on 30)

You may not qualify if:

  • Any neurological disease
  • No upper limb or bilateral amputation
