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.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL

Photographing from the back, front and side with ADIBAS posturography in standing position
Istanbul Saglık Bilimleri University
Istanbul, Turkey (Türkiye)
Evaluation of the static posture-1
Photographing from the back, front and side with posturography (ADIBAS Posture, 1520, Kinect for XBOX ONE) in free standing position
Time frame: Changes from baseline static posture adaptations before and following Six Minutes Walking Test
Evaluation of the static posture-2
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)
Time frame: Changes from baseline static posture adaptations before and following Six Minutes Walking Test
Evaluation of the back pain
Pain will be evaluated by using Visual Analog Scale ranging 0(no pain)-10(worst pain)
Time frame: Changes from baseline static posture adaptations before and following Six Minutes Walking Test
