Summary

This study is a clinical trial that evaluates the best treatment option using a strength training protocol and an endurance training protocol in patients with lower limb amputations who use prostheses. The protocol consists of 6 weeks of strength training and 6 weeks of endurance training, with a 1-month washout period between the two.

Detailed description

The assessments in this study focus primarily on strength, using a dynamometer and the 5 RM, functionality, using the AMP scale, mobility, using the TugTest, quality of life, using the WHOQOL-BREF, and perception of change, using the GROC.

Conditions

• Lower Limb Amputation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Muscle strengh training	Strength training lasts six weeks, during which submaximal strength percentages ranging from 75% to 90% are worked on. It is performed three times a week and follows a protocol consisting of progressive exercises for the large functional muscle groups relevant to the population being trained.
OTHER	Resistence training	Resistance training will be carried out for 6 weeks, 3 times a week, with exercises prescribed by a protocol with training characteristics defined by bibliography found in the ACSM.
