Comparison of Transtibial and Transfemoral Amputees' Posture Parameters
Study Details
Study Description
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.

Group 1:Transtibial Amputation Photographs will be taken with posturography device during free posture and equal weighting on both extremities. Static postural adaptations will be determined by photo analysis. |
Other: Evaluation of the static posture
Photographing from the back, front and side with ADIBAS posturography in standing position
|
Group 2:Transfemoral Amputation Photographs will be taken with posturography device during free posture and equal weighting on both extremities. Static postural adaptations will be determined by photo analysis. |
Other: Evaluation of the static posture

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 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)
