the physical therapist will provide different protocol at different weeks in the following way.

first week: first fitting and initial Gait training second week: Specific Gait Training third week: Advance Gait Training fourth week: Functional Training

Primary outcomes

  1. Balance confidence

    Time frame: One month

    Balance was assessed through Activity-specific balance confidence. Its a 16-item questionnaire where patients' rate their confidence while doing activities.

    Scoring from 0-100 (0 is no confidence and 100 is full confidence) Paper survey, 5-10 mins for administration. No Training required.

  2. Mobility

    Time frame: One month

    Mobility was assessed through loco-motor capabilities index. The loco-motor capabilities index is a disease-specific, self-administered instrument for assessing locomotor abilities generally considered essential for basic and advanced ADLs of people with lower-limb amputation and an enabling factor associated with long-term prosthetic use. It is easily administered and quickly completed.

    It is composed of 14 questions The LCI can be divided into two 7-item subscales that cover basic (items 1, 4, 5, 8-11) and advanced (items 2, 3, 6, 7,12-14) activities, respectively. Higher scores reflect greater locomotor capabilities with the prosthesis and less dependence on assistance. Maximum score = 56, Minimum score = 0
