the Previous Prosthetic Foot Experience of Patients With Amputation
Conditions
Brief summary
The main purpose of this study is to determine the experiences of patients with different types of prostetic feet (carbon, hydraulic or microprocessor controlled).
Detailed description
One of the main goals in the rehabilitation of amputees is to provide optimal and natural ambulation. For this purpose, suitable socket-suspension type, appropriate knee joint and foot should be prescribed. In the selection of feet, the age, occupation, characteristics of the geographical region, mental status and activity level should be considered. In addition, the previous prosthesis experience of the people should definitely be taken into account during prosthesis prescribing.The main purpose of this study is to determine the experiences of patients with different types of prostetic feet (carbon, hydraulic or microprocessor controlled).
