NCT03722797 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 3

Last updated 2022-03-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This cross-sectional study explores physical activity and energy expenditure among inactive adults with a unilateral transtibial amputation. Results may assist with physical activity prescription for adults with unilateral lower-limb loss.

Conditions

  • Amputees

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Metabolic Cost Testing Procedures

The Oxycon Mobile™Portable VO2 Measurement system will be used to measure VO2 uptake during 2 walking tests. Test order will be randomized. Treadmill Test: Participants will walk on a treadmill at constant speed, based on the participant's self-selected gait speed, for 2.5 minutes in each stage. Walking will occur at 75% of self-selected gait speed in stage 1, 100% in stage 2, and 125% in stage 3. Over-ground Test: Participants will walk in an uncarpeted corridor on a course consisting of 2 cones, 20-meters apart. Participants will be instructed to walk at a constant speed for 2.5 minutes in each stage. Instructions will be to walk at their "slow" speed in stage 1, their "usual, comfortable" speed in stage 2, and their "brisk" speed in stage 3.
