Summary

This study was conducted to examine the effect of visual feedback on function, stability and quality of life in transtibial amputees. A total of 24 subjects who had unilateral transtibial amputations, used prosthesis with total surface bearing socket (TSB) for at least 1 year and volunteered to participate in the study were included. Before and after Treatment subjects were evaluated with "LASAR Posture" for prosthetic weight bearing (PWB), "Berg Balance Scale (BBS)" and "Timed Up\& Go Test (TUG)" for balance and functional mobility, "2-Minute-Walk-Test (2MWT)" for physical performance, "Satisfaction with the Prosthesis Questionnaire (SATPRO)" for prosthetic pleasure and "Nottingham Health Profile (NHP)" for health- related quality of life. Participants were randomly divided into two equal groups as study and control groups. After the evaluations the same exercises; PWB exercises, balance exercises, anteroposterior and lateral weight shifting, obstacle course, walking on different grounds were applied to the the study group with visual feedback methods and control group.

Interventions

OTHER

visual feedback

in the study group, subjects were applied for example prosthetic weight bearing exercises in front of the mirror. They watched their reflected image while doing exercises.

OTHER

usual prosthetic rehabilitation
