Effect of Dual-Task Training on Balance and Fall Risk in Lower Limb Amputees Using Prosthesis
Conditions: Transfemoral Amputation, Balance Impairment, Fall Risk
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 60 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 40
Sponsor: Kafrelsheikh University
Location: Armed forces Center for Health Rehabilitation in Taif Ta'if
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.
