Comparison of Different Amputation Levels

Marmara University85 enrolled

Overview

Lower limb amputation is a factor that changes the individual's weight transfer, gait pattern, and trunk balance. This change plantar pressure distribution of both side and cause a series of problems to be exposed over time according to level of amputation. The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between amputation level-postural balance and amputation level-plantar pressure distribution.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Measurement of plantar pressure distrubution

Plantar pressure distrubution (mmHg/N) will be measured by force platform (F-Scan 6.70 TekScan, Boston, MA) on bipedal with open eyes

Time frame: Change from baseline plantar pressure distrubution at second 10, second 20 and second 30.

Measurement of plantar pressure distrubution

Plantar pressure distrubution (mmHg/N) will be measured by force platform (F-Scan 6.70 TekScan, Boston, MA) on bipedal with platform under heel

Time frame: Change from baseline plantar pressure distrubution at second 10, second 20 and second 30.

Determination of center of pressure

Determination of center of pressure (cm) will be provided by force platform (F-Scan 6.70 TekScan, Boston, MA) on bipedal with open eyes

Time frame: Change from baseline center of pressure at second 10, second 20 and second 30.
