Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the validity and reliability of the Community Integration Questionnaire-Revised (CIQ-R) scale in lower limb amputees. The main questions it aims to answer are: * The Turkish version of the Community Integration Questionnaire-Revised is valid for lower extremity amputees. * The Turkish version of the Community Integration Questionnaire-Revised is reliable for lower extremity amputees. Participants will: • Fill out general information, CIQ-R, TAPES, and ABIS forms.
Detailed description
The aim of this study is to determine the validity and reliability of the Community Integration Questionnaire-Revised (CIQ-R) scale in lower limb amputees. Lower limb amputees aged 18-65 years who used prostheses for at least 6 months and volunteered to participate in the study were included in the study. The adaptation of amputees to prostheses was evaluated with the Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scale (TAPES), their perception of physical appearance with the Amputee Body Image Scale (ABIS), and their community integration with the CIQ-R. Correlation with TAPES and ABIS and confirmatory factor analysis were performed to determine the construct validity of the CIQ-R scale. The test-retest reliability of the CIQ-R scale was determined by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) method. Internal consistency analysis was evaluated with Cronbach's alpha. 90 amputees were included in the study (mean age: 40.96±12.89 years; BMI: 25.55±5.5 kg/m2). The CIQ-R scale was reapplied to 18 of the participants 1 week later.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The Community Integration Questionnaire-Revised | 1st day | The Community Integration Questionnaire-Revised (CIQ-R) is a self-report, standardized instrument designed to assess an individual's degree of community integration. On this multisectional scale, patients get a minimum of 0 points (worst condition) and a maximum of 35 points (best condition). |
| Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales | 1st day | The Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales (TAPES) is a self-administered questionnaire that comprises psychosocial adjustment, activity restriction, and prosthetic satisfaction domains, each with three subscales. |
| The Amputee Body Image Scale | 1st day | The Amputee Body Image Scale affects the individual's perception of their own physical condition, life satisfaction, and well-being. The ABIS consists of 20 items and is scored on a 5-point Likert scale. Three items (3, 12, and 16) are reverse scored. The total score varies between 20-100. A high score indicates poor body image. |
