NCT Number: NCT07261852
This study is a clinical trial that evaluates the best treatment option using a strength training protocol and an endurance training protocol in patients with lower limb amputations who use prostheses. The protocol consists of 6 weeks of strength training and 6 weeks of endurance training, with a 1-month washout period between the two.

Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
Strength training lasts six weeks, during which submaximal strength percentages ranging from 75% to 90% are worked on.
It is performed three times a week and follows a protocol consisting of progressive exercises for the large functional muscle groups relevant to the population being trained.
Resistance training will be carried out for 6 weeks, 3 times a week, with exercises prescribed by a protocol with training characteristics defined by bibliography found in the ACSM.
Time frame: day 1, day 18 (last day of week 6), day 1 (after the wash out) and day 24.
It is assessed using the TUG test, which requires patients to get up from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down again. Patients will receive the following instructions: "Get up on the word 'go,' walk to the tape, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down."
Time frame: day 1, day 18 (last day of week 6), day 1 (after the wash out) and day 24.
It is assessed using a self-administered questionnaire called WHOQOL-BREF, which provides a profile of the person's perceived quality of life.
Time frame: day 1, day 18 (last day of week 6), day 1 (after the wash out) and day 24.
It is evaluated using a dynamometer, in which three measurements are taken for each designated movement and the average of the maximum force and peak force is calculated.
Time frame: day 1, day 18 (last day of week 6), day 1 (after the wash out) and day 24.
It is assessed using the AMP functional rating scale (amputee mobility predictor).
Time frame: assessments were performed at the end each protocol. day 18 and day 24
It is an assessment carried out using the Groc scale, which evaluates changes in perception.
