Overview
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.
Description
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.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Aged between 18-65
- The time elapsed after amputation > 6 months
- Using prosthesis for at least 3 months
- Being able to walk without an assistive device
Exclusion Criteria:
- Bilateral lower extremity amputation
- Presence of neurological, cardiovascular, and pulmonary disease that may affect walking performance
