Completed NCT07652619

Motor Imagery for Prosthetic Gait Training in Transtibial Amputees

Conditions: Transtibial Amputation - Unilateral, Transtibial Amputation, Transtibial Amputee

Sex: All

Ages: 18 Years – 80 Years

Healthy volunteers: No

Phase: NA

Enrollment: 10

Sponsor: Ariel University

Location: Loewenstein Rehabilitation Hospital Raanana

Summary

This study included the development of motor imagery (i.e., the cognitive process of mentally reheasing a motor task) protocol for improving prosthetic gait among acute transtibial amputees. Further, the researchers investigated whether praciticng motor imagery before or alongside initial temporary prosthetic training (aka VESSA) would affect measures of functional status, pain, prosthethis embodiement and motor imagery ability.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Unilateral transtibial amputation * No experience with VESSA training Exclusion Criteria: * Vestibular and/or cerebellar disorders * Cognitive impairments (e.g., mental retardation) * Hearing and/or visual impairment * Bilateral amputation * Acute medical exacerbation in the past two weeks
