Brief Summary

Purpose of this study was to assess the balance level of highly qualified amputee football players in relation to their sports level, training experience, position on the pitch, as well as the type of amputation/dysfunction and disability experience.

Detailed Description

The participants were presented with the procedure of the study and informed that they could resign from their participation in the study at any stage. All participants were given the written informed consent form after the detailed written and oral explanation of the risk and benefits resulting from participation in this study Static balance was assessed using AMTI AccuSway stabilographic platform (ACS Model). The study participants performed the single 10 second left- or right-leg stance with eyes open (EO), and single 10 second left- or right-leg stance with eyes closed (EC) (depending on leg amputation). If the first attempt was not successful, study participants were able to do the second attempt. The tests were conducted on a match-free day, approximately 2 hours after a meal, in a sports outfit, in a specially designated room.
