Brief Summary

Purpose of this study was to assess the balance level of highly qualified amputee football players in relation to their sports level, training experience, position on the pitch, as well as the type of amputation/dysfunction and disability experience.

Conditions

Amputation; Dysmelia; Leg; Deformity, Congenital

Keywords

Amputation; Amputee Football; Performance; Balance

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Center of pressure (CoP) path lenght was measured

  CoP displacement analysis is used to assess postural sway, based on which the balance control function can be assessed

  Baseline

• Surface area of stabilogram was mesured

  Based on the analysis of the surface area of the stabilogram, the level of balance control can be assessed

  Baseline

• Visual inspection indicator (VII) was measured

  VII aggregates surface areas of stabilograms (cm2) with eyes open and closed. In theory, maximum value of the indicator may come to 100%. As a rule, it is positive, which means that the surface area of the stabilogram increases with eyes closed. The indicator is higher when the difference between the surface area of the stabilogram in the test with eyes closed and the surface area of the stabilogram in the test with eyes open is greater. Lower values of the VII may indicate a reduced role of visual control in maintaining balance or the lack of its compensation.

  Baseline

Interventions

Balance test OTHER

10 second left- or right-leg stance with eyes open, and single 10 second left- or right-leg stance with eyes closed
