- NCT04330274
- Lead Sponsor
- Marmara University
- Brief Summary
Lower limb amputation is a factor that changes the individual's weight transfer, gait pattern, and trunk balance. This change plantar pressure distribution of both side and cause a series of problems to be exposed over time according to level of amputation. The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between amputation level-postural balance and amputation level-plantar pressure distribution.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Measurement of plantar pressure distrubution Change from baseline plantar pressure distrubution at second 10, second 20 and second 30. Plantar pressure distrubution (mmHg/N) will be measured by force platform (F-Scan 6.70 TekScan, Boston, MA) on bipedal without platform under heel
Determination of center of pressure Change from baseline center of pressure at second 10, second 20 and second 30. Determination of center of pressure (cm) will be provided by force platform (F-Scan 6.70 TekScan, Boston, MA) on bipedal without platform under heel.
