Brief Summary

Amputation is the loss or removal of a body part such as an arm or leg. It is the last option in trauma treatment and irreversible procedure. Amputation rehabilitation begins in the pre-amputation period. The goal of rehabilitation after an amputation is to help the patient return to the highest level of function and independence possible, while improving the overall quality of life. Many factors can affect the success of lower limb amputation rehabilitation, and stump length is one of them. A sufficient stump length provides a large contact surface and increases the stability of the socket unit.

Conditions

Amputation, Traumatic

Keywords

amputation; stump length; muscle strength; balance; proprioception

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The isokinetic muscle strength of the hip extensors and flexors

  The isokinetic muscle strength of the hip extensors and flexors will be measured with the computer -assisted isokinetic system (CYBEX). The tests were performed at the angular velocities of 60° and 120°/s, while measuring flexion and extension of the amputated side.

  through study completion, an average of one month

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• The Berg Balance Scale (BBS)

  through study completion, an average of one month

• Proprioception assessment

  through study completion, an average of one month

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 65 Years
• Sex: male
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients between the ages of 18-65 who underwent traumatic amputation at least 6 months ago will participate in the study.

You may qualify if:

• Age between 18-65 years
• Time after amputation ≥ 6 months
• Unilateral transfemoral traumatic amputation

You may not qualify if:

• Bilateral transfemoral amputation
• Unilateral non-traumatic transfemoral amputation
• Presence of neurological, auditory, or vision-related disease that may affect balance and proprioception
• Presence of cardiovascular or pulmonary disease that will affect muscle strength
