An observational study in Amputation, Traumatic, sponsored by Gaziler Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Education and Research Hospital. Recruiting at 1 site in Turkey. Open to male participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-10-23.
Sponsored by Gaziler Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Education and Research Hospital · Observational
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of hip muscle thicknesses measured by ultrasonography with hip flexion and extension strength and clinical parameters in prosthesis users with unilateral traumatic transfemoral amputation.
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of hip muscle thicknesses measured by ultrasonography with hip flexion and extension strength and clinical parameters in prosthesis users with unilateral traumatic transfemoral amputation.
This study will be useful in understanding whether ultrasonography is an appropriate imaging method in the follow-up of changes in functional strength in the hip girdle in patients with unilateral traumatic transfemoral amputation.
112 studies on the registry are indexed under Amputation, Traumatic; 24 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 27 is below the median of 37 across 34 observational studies indexed under Amputation, Traumatic.

Exclusion Criteria:
Peak torque and total amount of work of hip flexors and extensors will be determined by the Cybex 6000 model computer-aided isokinetic system.
Ultrasonographic evaluations will be performed with a 5-12 MHz linear probe (Logic e portable; GE Healthcare, China). The thicknesses of the hip flexor (psoas major) and extensor (gluteus maximus) muscles will be measured while the patient is in the prone position, in accordance with the literature.
6-minute walking test (6MWT)
Functional performance will be assessed by 6MWT (in meter). Patients will be instructed to walk quickly, safely, and as much distance as possible over a rectangular path.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of one month
10-meter walking test
The short-distance over-ground gait speed will be assessed using a 10-Meter Walk Test. Participants will be asked to walk at normal pace on a 10-meter walkway.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of one month
Timed up and go test
Timed up and go test will be used for quantifying functional mobility balance. Participants will be instructed to sit in a comfortable position on a 45-65 cm high steady chair with a backrest and armrest, with both arms resting on their thighs, and then quickly stand up and move towards and around a fixed cone 3 m away, return, and sit again.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of one month
