Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Measurement of plantar pressure distrubution
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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.
