简要总结
The aim of this study is to compare the sitting and standing postural stability of transfemoral individuals with healthy individuals with similar demographic characteristics.
详细描述
Postural stability is important for amputees to perform daily life activities and participate in social activities. The aim of this study is to compare the sitting and standing stability of transfemoral individuals with healthy individuals with similar demographic characteristics. A force platform was used to measure the postural stability of individuals. The sitting limits of stability of the participants were recorded in cm. Amputees between the ages of 18-50, using their prosthesis for at least 6 months, and healthy individuals with similar demographic characteristics were included in the study. Congenital amputees, individuals with bilateral lower extremity amputations, and individuals with central or peripheral vestibular disorders were excluded. Our study will reveal the importance of sitting stability limits in the evaluation and treatment of amputees.

结局指标
主要结局
Limits of stability
时间窗: 15 minutes
Limits of stability test evaluates dynamic balance of participants. Computerized balance system measured limits of stability for forward, backward, right and left side movements in sitting. It calculates the maximum distance a person can lean without losing balance. The unit of measure is centimeters. The higher value is indicated the better balance.
