Whole-body Vibration Without Visual Feedback on Postural Steadiness in Unilateral Trans-femoral Traumatic Amputees

Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a therapeutic method that exposes the entire body to mechanical oscillations while the patient stands or sits on a vibrating platform. This method was used in rehabilitation to improve muscle function, joint stability, balance control and to reduce the risk of falling.

"1. Stretching and ROM exercises daily to make sure that the patient can straighten hip; this makes walking, and even lying in bed, more comfortable.~2. Resting hip on a pillow, as this promotes a hip flexion contracture~3. A pillow between legs, as this lengthens the inner thigh muscle that helps to keep legs together while walking, and shortens the outer thigh muscles so that walking and standing with feet apart.~4. Regular skin care.~5. Regular prosthetic care."
