Comparison of Transtibial and Transfemoral Amputees' Posture Parameters

Comparison of Transtibial and Transfemoral Amputees' Posture Parameters

Recruiting
18-65 years
Male
Phase N/A

Overview

With the onset of prosthesis use following lower extremity amputations, body shows biomechanical changes according to the amputation level and consequently develops adaptation mechanisms both on the healthy and ampute side. The aim of this study is to determine the static postural adaptations that appear at different amputation levels.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Being between the ages of 18-65
  • Having had an amputation at least 6 months ago
  • Have had transfemoral amputation or transtibial amputation
  • To be able to perform ambulation independently
