Summary

This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effect of dual-task training on balance and fall risk in individuals with unilateral transfemoral amputation using a prosthesis. Forty participants aged 18-60 years will be randomly allocated to either an experimental group receiving dual-task training in addition to conventional therapy or a control group receiving conventional therapy alone. The intervention will be conducted for 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week. Balance and fall risk will be evaluated before and after the intervention using the Biodex Stability System, Berg Balance Scale, and Timed Up and Go Test.

Conditions

  • Transfemoral Amputation
  • Balance Impairment
  • Fall Risk

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Dual-task training

Participants will receive progressive dual-task training combined with conventional physiotherapy. The intervention includes simultaneous motor-cognitive and motor-motor tasks such as walking while counting backward, naming categories, carrying objects during walking, obstacle negotiation, and ball passing. Training will be provided three sessions per week for 8 weeks.

OTHER

Conventional Physiotherapy

Participants will receive conventional physiotherapy including strengthening exercises, balance training, gait training with the prosthesis, weight-shifting exercises, and functional mobility training for 8 weeks.
