Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The amputated group will include patients with lower limb amputations who are already using prostheses for at least 6 months; no longer in the process of adapting to prosthesis. The paraplegic group will include participants with bilateral lower limb paraplegia; no history of pressure ulcers in the last month anywhere on the body; stable hemodynamic parameters in the last month such as heart rate; blood pressure and saturation
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Individuals who have associated neuropathological brain changes such as stroke; Parkinson's; Alzheimer's; recent traumatic brain injury with cognitive impairment. All those who have any serious cognitive or psychological dysfunction that may interfere with the tests will be excluded; panic syndrome; anxiety attacks; major depression; individuals with relevant speech impairments that prevent their communication during the tests.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome: Increased functionality, determined by the use of the FIM Scale (Functional Independence Measure), of the paraplegic group and amputee after using the orthostatic device in the evaluations of 5 days, 10 days, and 2 weeks after the end of the intervention. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome: reduction in the level of sleepiness measured by the Epworth scale in the paraplegic and amputee groups after the use of the orthostatic device in the evaluations of 5 days, 10 days and 2 weeks after the end of the intervention.;Expected outcome: reduction of plantar pressure and peak pressure measured by baropodometry of the paraplegic and amputee groups after the use of the orthostatic device in the evaluations of 5 days, 10 days and 2 weeks after the end of the intervention.;Expected outcome: Reduction in the presence of pain measured by the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) of the paraplegic and amputee groups after the use of the orthostatic device in the evaluations of 5 days, 10 days and 2 weeks after the end of the intervention.;Expected outcome: Increase in muscle strength of the quadriceps, spine and hamstring muscle groups, measured by the isometric dynamometer, of the paraplegic and amputee groups after the use of the orthostatic device in the evaluations of 5 days, 10 days and 2 weeks after the end of the intervention.;Expected outcome: Increased range of motion of the hip, knee and ankle joint measured by the manual goniometer, of the paraplegic and amputee groups after the use of the orthostatic device in the evaluations of 5 days, 10 days and 2 weeks after the end of the intervention.;Expected outcome: increased blood oxygen saturation measured by the oximeter of the paraplegic and amputee groups after the use of the orthostatic device in the evaluations of 5 days, 10 days and 2 weeks after the end of the intervention.;Expected outcome: the paraplegic and amputee groups do not show differences in thermography after using the orthostatic device in the evaluations of 5 days, 10 days and 2 weeks after intervention. | — |
