Summary

Researchers aim to compare demographic characteristics, prosthesis type, functional capacity, and quality of life between faller and non-faller transtibial amputees.

Detailed description

Unilateral transtibial level prosthetic users will be included in this study. After getting the fall history of subjects, those who feel at least one time or more in the last year will be accepted as the faller group. Demographic characteristics, functional capacity, health-related quality of life, and prosthetic types used by amputees will be assessed. The main differences between the faller and non-faller transtibial amputees will be analyzed with the data.
