Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Evaluation of the static posture-1
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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)
