Overview
Brief Summary
The main purpose of the study is to reveal the early and late changes in the walking characteristics of patients with lower extremity amputation. Secondly, it is planned to reveal the factors affecting the walking characteristics of patients with amputation and to compare individuals with different levels of amputation in terms of clinical outcome measures.
Detailed Description
It is important to investigate the long-term changes in walking characteristics of patients with amputation and the factors affecting walking characteristics in these patients regarding prosthesis rehabilitation. The main purpose of the study is to reveal the early and late changes in the walking characteristics of patients with lower extremity amputation. Secondly, it is planned to reveal the factors affecting the walking characteristics of patients with amputation and to compare individuals with different levels of amputation in terms of clinical outcome measures.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
2-minute walking test
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of one month
Walking distance will be evaluated using the two-minute walking test (2MWT). Patients will be instructed to walk quickly, safely, and as much distance as possible along a rectangular path.
Secondary Outcomes
- Visual Analog Scale(through study completion, an average of one month)
- Locomotor capacity index(through study completion, an average of one month)
