Comparison of Transtibial and Transfemoral Amputees' Posture Parameters

Completed

• Conditions: Amputation; Traumatic, Limb; Postural; Defect
• Interventions: Other: Evaluation of the static posture

• Registration Number: NCT04456244
• Lead Sponsor: Sultan Abdulhamid Han Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey

Brief Summary

With the onset of prosthesis use following lower extremity amputations, body shows biomechanical changes according to the amputation level and consequently develops adaptation mechanisms both on the healthy and ampute side. The aim of this study is to determine the static postural adaptations that appear at different amputation levels.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Group 2:Transfemoral Amputation	Evaluation of the static posture	Photographs will be taken with posturography device during free posture and equal weighting on both extremities. Static postural adaptations will be determined by photo analysis.
Group 1:Transtibial Amputation	Evaluation of the static posture	Photographs will be taken with posturography device during free posture and equal weighting on both extremities. Static postural adaptations will be determined by photo analysis.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Evaluation of the static posture-1	Changes from baseline static posture adaptations before and following Six Minutes Walking Test	Photographing from the back, front and side with posturography (ADIBAS Posture, 1520, Kinect for XBOX ONE) in free standing position
Evaluation of the static posture-2	Changes from baseline static posture adaptations before and following Six Minutes Walking Test	Photographing from the back, front and side with posturography (ADIBAS Posture, 1520, Kinect for XBOX ONE) in equal weighting on platform (3D L.A.S.A.R. Posture, 743L500, Ottobock)
Evaluation of the back pain	Changes from baseline static posture adaptations before and following Six Minutes Walking Test	Pain will be evaluated by using Visual Analog Scale ranging 0(no pain)-10(worst pain)
