Overview
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 .
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).
Interventions
- Procedure Impairment oriented (Group A)
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. - Procedure Task oriented (Group B)
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.
Primary outcome measures
- Amputee Mobility Predictor (AMP) [Time frame: on 3rd and 10th day.]
- Gait speed [Time frame: on 3rd and 10th day of treatment]
- cadence [Time frame: On the 3rd day of treatment and 10th day of treatment]
- Cycle time [Time frame: On the 3rd day of treatment and 10th day of treatment]
- Stride length [Time frame: On the 3rd day of treatment and 10th day of treatment]
