Brief Summary

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

This study investigates the relationships between locomotor skills, timed performance, gait parameters, balance, fear of falling, and prosthesis satisfaction in individuals who underwent amputation due to an earthquake. Conducted at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, it included participants aged 18 years and older who were in the prosthetic rehabilitation phase and classified at or above the K1 functional level.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Lower limb amputation significantly affects an individual's mobility, balance, and overall quality of life. The impact is even more pronounced in individuals who have undergone amputation due to traumatic events such as earthquakes. Understanding the factors influencing locomotor performance, balance, and prosthesis satisfaction in this specific population is crucial for optimizing rehabilitation strategies and improving functional outcomes.

This study was conducted at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital and included participants aged 18 years and older, who were in the prosthetic rehabilitation phase and classified at or above the K1 functional level. Participants underwent a series of assessments related to gait, balance, locomotor skills, timed performance, and prosthesis satisfaction. Data were analyzed using correlation analyses, taking into account normality distribution.

The study contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the importance of comprehensive rehabilitation programs that address both physical and psychological aspects of prosthesis adaptation. Future research should focus on larger sample sizes, longer follow-up periods, and the influence of psychosocial factors and rehabilitation approaches on prosthesis satisfaction and functional outcomes.
