Official title
Effects of Muscle Strength Training in Lower Limb Amputee Patients
Overview
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.
Interventions
- 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.
Primary outcome measures
- Changes in Funcionality [Time frame: day 1, day 18 (last day of week 6), day 1 (after the wash out) and day 24.]
- Changes in quality of life [Time frame: day 1, day 18 (last day of week 6), day 1 (after the wash out) and day 24.]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Changes in Maximum isometric muscle strength [Time frame: day 1, day 18 (last day of week 6), day 1 (after the wash out) and day 24.]
- Changes on Movility [Time frame: day 1, day 18 (last day of week 6), day 1 (after the wash out) and day 24.]
- Change in Global percepcion of change [Time frame: assessments were performed at the end each protocol. day 18 and day 24]
