About this study
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 .
Read the detailed description
Participants were randomly assigned into two groups. Group A ,which focus on strengthening exercises such as ,side lying hip abductor strengthening ,prone lying hip extensors strengthening ,supine lying hip flexors strengthening ,side lying hip adductors strengthening and bridging .Each exercise should be hold for 10-20 seconds with 10 repetition .
Group B , which prioritise functional activities and real life task such as lateral trunk bending with crossed leg ,stepping over obstacle ,lateral step ups ,walk with visual markers on floor,sit to stand focus on glutes activation .
Corrective exercises will be performed by both groups . Outcome measures include spatiotemporal parameters and Amputee Mobility Predictor (AMP).
- Conditions
- Transfemoral Amputees
- Being tested
- Impairment oriented (Group A), Task oriented (Group B)
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Impairment oriented (Group A)Procedure or 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 or 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.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
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.
Measured: on 3rd and 10th day.
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)
Measured: on 3rd and 10th day of treatment
cadence
The number of steps taken per minute during walking, measured in steps per minute (steps/min )
Measured: On the 3rd day of treatment and 10th day of treatment
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)
Measured: On the 3rd day of treatment and 10th day of treatment
Stride length
Distance between two consecutive heel strikes of same foot , measures in meter (m)
Measured: On the 3rd day of treatment and 10th day of treatment

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Impairment oriented (Group A) and Task oriented (Group B) in people with Transfemoral Amputees, run by Foundation University Islamabad at 1 site in Pakistan.
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 4 inclusion and 5 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 4 Sep 2026. 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 Pakistan. 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?
Amputee Mobility Predictor (AMP) (time frame: on 3rd and 10th day.). The study lists 5 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 4 Sep 2026.
