Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

After transtibial amputations, biomechanical changes in the trunk, pelvis, and lumbar region cause asymmetrical strength and core muscle activation on the amputated side, which negatively affects the gait biomechanics of individuals. However, routine treatment programs do not use treatment approaches based on the core region. This study will focus on the effects of telerehabilitation and face-to-face spinal stabilization exercise training on gait, balance, joint position sense, core muscle function, and perceived mobility in transtibial amputees, after treatment, and after long-term follow-up.
