There are no specific criteria for wheelchair use in patients with lower extremity amputations. The main purpose of this study is to determine the characteristics of wheelchair use in lower extremity amputee patients. In addition, it is aimed to determine the reasons for using and not using a wheelchair, and what type of wheelchair is needed.
There are no specific criteria for chair use in patients with lower extremity amputations. The main purpose of this study is to determine the characteristics of wheelchair use in lower extremity amputee patients. In addition, it is aimed to determine the reasons for using and not using a wheelchair, and what type of wheelchair is needed. Thus, it is thought that the main points to be considered while prescribing a wheelchair in patients with amputation can be determined.
Patients with traumatic unilateral or bilateral lower extremity amputation who are hospitalized or applied to outpatient clinics will be included in the study. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients will be recorded. Current age, time since the injury (in months), occupation, etiology (mine,rocket launcher, rifle, shrapnel, etc.), amputation level, amputation side, accompanying upper extremity problem, last operation reason, and activity level, knee joint type (hydraulic, simple microprocessor, other microprocessor), foot type (carbon, hydraulic, microprocessor controlled), socket-suspension type, daily use of prosthesis (hour/day), use of assistive device or AFO, how long he/she has been using a wheelchair, the type of wheelchair (light manual, active, battery powered), the reason for using a wheelchair, the reason for not using, the frequency of using a wheelchair, the upper extremity problem/pain while using the chair will be recorded.
