Keywords

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. The aim of this study is to determine the static postural adaptations that appear at different amputation levels.

Interventions

OTHEREvaluation of the static posture

Photographing from the back, front and side with ADIBAS posturography in standing position

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Evaluation of the static posture-1	Changes from baseline static posture adaptations before and following Six Minutes Walking Test	Photographing from the back, front and side with posturography (ADIBAS Posture, 1520, Kinect for XBOX ONE) in free standing position
Evaluation of the static posture-2	Changes from baseline static posture adaptations before and following Six Minutes Walking Test	Photographing from the back, front and side with posturography (ADIBAS Posture, 1520, Kinect for XBOX ONE) in equal weighting on platform (3D L.A.S.A.R. Posture, 743L500, Ottobock)
Evaluation of the back pain	Changes from baseline static posture adaptations before and following Six Minutes Walking Test	Pain will be evaluated by using Visual Analog Scale ranging 0(no pain)-10(worst pain)
