No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Veterans with dysvascular lower limb amputation (LLA) have a high fall risk, which persists despite completion of conventional rehabilitation. The presence of fall risk could be a primary reason for the high disability and low quality of life outcomes in this Veteran population. A potential novel intervention for this population is to train performance of tasks that require both physical and cognitive attention (i.e., dual-tasking). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore relationships between dual-task performance and self-reported falls for Veterans with dysvascular LLA. Further, dual-tasking occurs during everyday life and this project will examine the association between dual-task performance and participation in activities of daily living (basic and instrumental). The results will form the foundation for development and future study of a novel dual-task training program for Veterans with dysvascular LLA.
