Summary

Nowadays, the use of prostheses is recognised as a critical rehabilitation tool for individuals who have experienced limb loss as a result of amputation in order to improve their quality of life and help them return to their activities of daily living. Prostheses offer the potential to help these individuals regain their mobility as well as optimise their physical function. Especially for unilateral transfemoral amputees, there are a number of physical challenges they face during prosthesis use. These challenges can manifest as posture, balance and weight transfer problems that prosthesis users face in their daily lives. Correcting trunk posture, increasing the ability to maintain static balance and optimising plantar load distribution are critical factors affecting the success of prosthesis use. These challenges faced by unilateral transfemoral amputees during prosthesis use are closely related to post-amputation biomechanical changes. These changes can often lead to problems with balance, gait and functionality during activities of daily living. There is no effective comparative study based on computerised analysis data on posture assessment, static balance and plantar pressure distribution of transfemoral amputees.The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of prosthesis use by comparing posture, balance, gait and plantar pressure parameters of unilateral transfemoral amputees at different prosthesis use periods
