About this trial

This study examines the comparison between Impairment Oriented versus Task Oriented Gait Training in Transfemoral Amputee Rehabilitation. A randomized controlled trial conducted with 40 participants divided into two groups .Both groups receive pre-gait training and corrective walking exercises for 10 days .

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Impairment oriented (Group A)

    Procedure/Surgery

    Participants will receive ten days training programs with 5 days in each week. Each session will include warm up followed by sit to stand , stand to sit, walking in parallel bars ,ascend and descend stairs. Participants with group A will receive strengthening exercises of hip flexor , abductors, adductors and bridging of 10 repetition with 10-20 second hold according to patient.

  • Task oriented (Group B)

    Procedure/Surgery

    Participants will receive ten days training programs with 5 days in each week. Each session will include warm up followed by sit to stand , stand to sit, walking in parallel bars ,ascend and descend stairs. Participants with group B will receive lateral trunk bending, stepping over obstacle, lateral step ups, walk with visual markers on floor, sit to stand focus on glutes activation.

Treatment groups

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Amputee Mobility Predictor (AMP)

AMP is functional scale utilising a 3 point rating scale of 0-2.AMP scores have been correlated with functional medicare classification levels of 0-4.

Time frame
on 3rd and 10th day.
2

Gait speed

Gait speed in meters per second , measured with 10 meter walking test, gait speed computed by dividing distance covered by time taken to cover it . (m/s)

Time frame
on 3rd and 10th day of treatment
3

cadence

The number of steps taken per minute during walking, measured in steps per minute (steps/min )

Time frame
On the 3rd day of treatment and 10th day of treatment
4

Cycle time

The time required to complete one full gait cycle from the initial contact of one foot to the next initial contact of same foot, measured in seconds (s)

Time frame
On the 3rd day of treatment and 10th day of treatment
