An interventional study of visual feedback and usual prosthetic rehabilitation in Amputation and Traumatic Amputation, sponsored by Hacettepe University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-10-20.
Sponsored by Hacettepe University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study was conducted to examine the effect of visual feedback on function, stability and quality of life in transtibial amputees. A total of 24 subjects who had unilateral transtibial amputations, used prosthesis with total surface bearing socket (TSB) for at least 1 year and volunteered to participate in the study were included. Before and after Treatment subjects were evaluated with "LASAR Posture" for prosthetic weight bearing (PWB), "Berg Balance Scale (BBS)" and "Timed Up\& Go Test (TUG)" for balance and functional mobility, "2-Minute-Walk-Test (2MWT)" for physical performance, "Satisfaction with the Prosthesis Questionnaire (SATPRO)" for prosthetic pleasure and "Nottingham Health Profile (NHP)" for health- related quality of life. Participants were randomly divided into two equal groups as study and control groups. After the evaluations the same exercises; PWB exercises, balance exercises, anteroposterior and lateral weight shifting, obstacle course, walking on different grounds were applied to the the study group with visual feedback methods and control group.

Exclusion Criteria:
participants in the experimental group were applied usual prosthetic rehabilitation with visual feedback methods. 9 sessions for three days were applied.
Other: visual feedback
participants in the control group were applied usual prosthetic rehabilitation. 9 sessions for three days were applied.
Other: usual prosthetic rehabilitation
in the study group, subjects were applied for example prosthetic weight bearing exercises in front of the mirror. They watched their reflected image while doing exercises.
prosthetic weight bearing and balance exercises were applied to the control group for 9 sessions.
Prosthetic Weight bearing
minimal (Min WB) and maximal (Max WB) values were visually recorded on the amputated side for three consecutive minutes. The average weight bearing on the amputated side (Ml) was calculated by dividing the sum of maximal and minimal weight bearing values by two. The percentage of total body weight (TBW) borne through the amputated limb was then determined using the formula: (Ml/TBW) x 100
