The Relationship Between Thicknesses and Isokinetic Strength of Hip Flexor and Extensor Muscles

Recruiting

• Conditions: Amputation, Traumatic

• Registration Number: NCT05827744
• Lead Sponsor: Gaziler Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Education and Research Hospital

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of hip muscle thicknesses measured by ultrasonography with hip flexion and extension strength and clinical parameters in prosthesis users with unilateral traumatic transfemoral amputation.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of hip muscle thicknesses measured by ultrasonography with hip flexion and extension strength and clinical parameters in prosthesis users with unilateral traumatic transfemoral amputation.

This study will be useful in understanding whether ultrasonography is an appropriate imaging method in the follow-up of changes in functional strength in the hip girdle in patients with unilateral traumatic transfemoral amputation.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
10-meter walking test	through study completion, an average of one month	The short-distance over-ground gait speed will be assessed using a 10-Meter Walk Test. Participants will be asked to walk at normal pace on a 10-meter walkway.
Timed up and go test	through study completion, an average of one month	Timed up and go test will be used for quantifying functional mobility balance. Participants will be instructed to sit in a comfortable position on a 45-65 cm high steady chair with a backrest and armrest, with both arms resting on their thighs, and then quickly stand up and move towards and around a fixed cone 3 m away, return, and sit again.
6-minute walking test (6MWT)	through study completion, an average of one month	Functional performance will be assessed by 6MWT (in meter). Patients will be instructed to walk quickly, safely, and as much distance as possible over a rectangular path.
