Comparison of Characteristics Between Faller and Non-faller Transtibial Amputees

The test to be carried out to find out functional capacity, in a 30-meter-long area will be marked at 3-meter intervals, and the turning points will be determined with an object such as a traffic cone. We will ask the individual to walk the maximum distance in 2 minutes and we will tell them that they can slow down and stop when they get tired. When 2 minutes are completed with a stopwatch, we will ask the individual to stop and record the walking distance in meters.

This test will be used to assess balance. The subjects will be asked to stand sideways next to the wall and wait with the shoulder in 90 degrees flexion, elbow in extension and fist closed without touching the wall with the arm close to the wall. The 3rd metacarpal head will be marked and the patient will be asked to reach as far as they can without taking a step, then the new location of the 3rd metacarpal head will be marked. Scoring will be determined by measuring the difference between the start and end position in centimeters. 3 attempts will be made and the best result will be taken.

This test will be used to assess fall risk. A distance of 3 meters will be determined in front of the chair, the individual is asked to get up from the chair and walk the determined distance, and the time elapsed will be recorded with a stopwatch with seconds.

This test is used to assess different aspects of amputees' experience of prosthesis use and quality of life. It gives a total score that means better when higher.
