About this study

Official title: Are There Any Relationship Between Isokinetic Parameters and the Amputee Mobility Predictor Scale?

There is very limited research examining isokinetic parameters and activity level in patients with amputation.. Therefore, the aims of this study were to illustrate isokinetic measurements including strength and proprioception and to analyze the correlation between those isokinetic parameters and activity level and to predict amputee mobility score. It is hypothesized that muscle strength and proprioception were associated with activity level and could be used to estimate amputee mobility scale score in patients with amputation.

Read the detailed description

Isokinetic measurements are used in the rehabilitation of amputee patients and to evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation. The parameters that are frequently looked at in these measurements are isokinetic muscle strength and proprioception. There is very limited research examining isokinetic parameters and activity level in patients with amputation.. Therefore, the aims of this study were to illustrate isokinetic measurements including strength and proprioception and to analyze the correlation between those isokinetic parameters and activity level and to predict amputee mobility score. We hypothesized that muscle strength and proprioception were associated with activity level and could be used to estimate amputee mobility scale score in patients with amputation

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Isokinetic muscle strength

    Muscle strength will be assessed for flexion and extension of the hip using a computer-assisted isokinetic system (CYBEX) in the isokinetic performance laboratory

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 month

  2. Isokinetic proprioception

    Isokinetic proprioception will be measured with the CYBEX device. The hip joint is chosen because the most proximal level amputation will be the above-knee level

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 month

  3. Amputee mobility predictor

    Amputee mobility predictor (AMP) is one of the performance-based outcome measures commonly used prior to prosthetic fitting and predict function following prosthetic prescription.The AMP is a 21-item tool for predicting the level of ambulation by assessing static and dynamic balance, transfers, and gait. With this scale, unilateral patients can be evaluated with or without prosthesis. However, activity level of bilateral amputees can only be predicted if they have prostheses. In this study, AMP evaluation of all patients will be performed by a physiotherapist with 10 years of experience in amputee rehabilitation, blinded to other clinical information.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Amputation, Traumatic, run by Gaziler Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Education and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Isokinetic muscle strength (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 month). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 May 2022.
