简要总结
Amputation is the loss or removal of a body part such as an arm or leg. It is the last option in trauma treatment and irreversible procedure. Amputation rehabilitation begins in the pre-amputation period. The goal of rehabilitation after an amputation is to help the patient return to the highest level of function and independence possible, while improving the overall quality of life. Many factors can affect the success of lower limb amputation rehabilitation, and stump length is one of them. A sufficient stump length provides a large contact surface and increases the stability of the socket unit.

Many factors can affect the success of lower limb amputation rehabilitation, and stump length is one of them. A sufficient stump length provides a large contact surface and increases the stability of the socket unit.
People with unilateral transfemoral amputation have lost their knee and ankle joint.
This causes a loss of proprioceptive feedback from the ankle joint, knee joint and related muscles. Muscle weakness, muscle atrophy and balance problems are common in amputee patients.
There is not enough data to reveal the relationship between stump length and muscle strength, balance, and proprioception. The aim of this study to evaluate the relationship of stump length with muscle strength, balance, and proprioception in patients with traumatic unilateral transfemoral amputation.

结局指标
主要结局
The isokinetic muscle strength of the hip extensors and flexors
时间窗: through study completion, an average of one month
The isokinetic muscle strength of the hip extensors and flexors will be measured with the computer -assisted isokinetic system (CYBEX). The tests were performed at the angular velocities of 60° and 120°/s, while measuring flexion and extension of the amputated side.
次要结局
- The Berg Balance Scale (BBS)(through study completion, an average of one month)
- Proprioception assessment(through study completion, an average of one month)
