The Dynamic Postural Changes in Transtibial and Transfemoral Amputees

Muscle activations in the lower extremity and trunk muscles during compensatory postural responses will be evaluated. The Delsys Trigno IM (Delsys Inc. Natick, Massachusetts, USA) wireless surface electromyography (EMG) system will be used to evaluate muscle activation. In the lower extremity; Muscle activations of tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, quadriceps and hamstring muscle groups and erector spinae in the trunk will be evaluated. While the muscle groups above the stump on the amputated side of the individuals in the amputation group will be evaluated, all muscle groups specified on the healthy side will be evaluated. In the control group, all muscle groups on the dominant side, but on the non-dominant side, all other muscles except the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscles will be evaluated in order to be compatible with the amputation group.
