简要总结
The aim of this study was to investigate the physical activity and related factors of individuals with lower extremity amputation.
Participants in the study who have signed a voluntary consent form will be informed about the study first.Then, demographic information form will be started to be recorded in order to inform the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants and the information about amputation and prosthesis. The participants will be given the Timed Up and Go Test, L Test, Functional Reach Test and 2 Minute Walk Test. Following these tests, participants will continue with the scales to be answered by the participants themselves.These are respectively; Activity-Specific Balance Confidence Scale, Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scale and Amputee Body Image Scale.Before the data is collected, individuals will be informed about the equipment to be used in the tests.An adequate number of trials will be conducted before the evaluation and use of the equipment in order to be familiar with the equipment. All assessments will be made by the same physiotherapist.
详细描述
Amputation affects the quality of life of the individual; It is an important surgical intervention that can lead to functional, psychological and social isolation. The prevalence and incidence of amputation is difficult to determine precisely at the international level.The etiology of amputation varies depending on geographical location.Peripheral vascular diseases are the most common causes of amputation in developed countries and trauma in developing countries.Limitations in body composition and function after amputation decrease the activity level, so the participation of amputees is negatively affected.Physical activity refers to any activity involving body movement and increasing the heart rate and respiratory rate of the individual.
Most of the lower extremity amputated patients had low levels of physical activity and participation in sports activities; It was also found that individuals with lower extremity amputations were less active than those without lower extremity amputation.However, there are few studies that have shown that individuals with lower extremity amputation are regularly active, and the amputation of amputated individuals in these studies has mostly caused traumatic amputations.
Lower extremity amputation; Although there is significant evidence showing that the risk of developing a number of chronic degenerative diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, obesity and osteoarthritis significantly increases, there are few studies investigating and investigating physical activity after amputation.Despite these investigations, relatively little is known about the components or models of physical activity necessary to provide protection against chronic diseases and to improve metabolic health in these specific population groups. Therefore, accurate measurement and estimation of the level of physical activity and energy expenditure is critical in the prevention and prevention of chronic diseases in individuals with lower extremity amputation.
A higher level of physical activity is associated with better perceived quality of life in individuals with lower extremity amputation.Therefore, it is important to develop physical activity in individuals with lower extremity amputations.
Although there are studies investigating the physical activity in individuals with lower extremity amputation as a result of our literature review, no study has been found investigating factors related to physical activity.
