Sponsor's own description

With the initiation of prosthesis use following lower extremity amputations, the body shows biomechanical changes according to the amputation level, and as a result, it develops adaptation mechanisms on both the healthy and ampute sides. It has been reported that the most common secondary pathology caused by these mechanisms developed to compensate the amputated side is lower back pain and adaptation mechanisms vary according to the presence of pain. Adaptation strategies in transfemoral amputees cause permanent changes in the connective tissue structure properties of the toracolumbar region and reduce the contribution of these structures to dynamic stability. It has been reported that with the fascia correction technique, one of the kinesiological taping techniques, the connective tissue fiber alignment can be rearranged and the degree of stiffness can be reduced. Before the intervention, biomechanical properties of the toracolumbar region structures with MyotonPro and postural stability measurements with TekScan will be taken.
