Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to be achieved through the effect of the intervention, which is simple and low cost, and the progress of the quality of gait biomechanics, it is expected that in Evaluation of gait biomechanics with the best gait levels or pattern in relation to the amputees control group, and that an intervention biomechanically approximates the normative standard (healthy individuals), one of the main tools for gait biomechanics evaluation with new limbs using any method used by kinetics, kinematics, and force platform, without any expectation of being able to identify the gait patterns that most closely match the gait of a healthy individual and thus compare with the control group ( amputees and healthy screeners), as they used before, after prosthesis and after 6 months of prosthesis use

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find a functional improvement and decrease the risk of falls by the fall risk assessment method, or the over time test, ie, improve the test execution time, with a score less than or equal to 14 seconds;It is expected that the symptoms of neuropathic pain will improve after the intervention. Individuals in the intervention group had fewer symptoms classified as neuropathic pain. neuropathic pain, being below the score of 4 symptoms or less, which classify them as nociceptive pain, that is, they had an improvement in neuropathic pain;We will observe the influence of the intervention on the quality of life of these individuals, the tool used for evaluation was the WHOQOL questionnaire.
