Amputation,Stair up and Down, Stair up and Down, Amputation
Conditions
Brief summary
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. Adaptations in the lumbo-pelvic and lower lumbar regions cause asymmetries in the muscle tissue by causing changes in the morphological structure of the muscle, especially in the muscles of the waist, hip and knee and recruitment. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of stairing up and down activity on the mechanical properties of lumbal paravertebral muscles in TFA and TTA and its relation with lower lumbar region pain.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation of the mechanical properties of the muscle-1 | Change from Baseline mechanical properties at following staring up and down activity, at 10 minutes after the staring up and down activity | Viscoelastic stiffness \[N/m\] will be measured in MyotonPro 3 (MYO, Tallin, Estonia |
| Evaluation of the mechanical properties of the muscle-2 | Change from Baseline mechanical properties at following staring up and down activity, at 10 minutes after the staring up and down activity | Oscillation frequency (Hz) will be measured in MyotonPro 3 (MYO, Tallin, Estonia |
| Evaluation of the mechanical properties of the muscle-3 | Change from Baseline mechanical properties at following staring up and down activity, at 10 minutes after the staring up and down activity | Mechanical stiffness (N/m) will be measured in MyotonPro 3 (MYO, Tallin, Estonia |
| Evaluation of the back pain | Change from Baseline mechanical properties at following staring up and down activity, at 10 minutes after the staring up and down activity | Pain will be evaluated by using Visual analog scale ranging 0 (no pain)- 10 (worst pain) |
| Evaluation of the pressure-pain threshold | Change from Baseline mechanical properties at following staring up and down activity, at 10 minutes after the staring up and down activity | The pressure-pain threshold (lbs) will be measured in algometer commander (JTECH MEDICAL, MM036\_K, 2016) |
