NCT02572011 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 2

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Lower limb amputees have reduced joint mobility and strength which negatively influence an individual's ability to maintain balance. Individuals with lower limb amputation also have an increased fear of falling and reduced social participation because of this fear. Improving balance ability, reducing falls and fear of falling through effective balance training interventions would have a number of socio-economic benefits. The aim of the current study is to investigate whether taking part in a games console based-balance intervention, improves balance ability in individuals with lower limb amputation.
