Abstract
Background: Unilateral traumatic trans-femoral amputees exhibit a higher incidence of falling and become physically asymmetrical because the side that was amputated has different feelings and less muscle.
Objectives: To explore the impact of Whole-body vibration Without Visual Feedback (VFDWBV) on postural steadiness in unilateral traumatic trans- femoral amputees.
Methods: A double-blinded randomized controlled study of technology and information was conducted at a modern university. A total of 108 individuals, 40-55 years who had experienced a traumatic amputation of one leg above the knee were divided into three groups: group A received whole body vibration (WBV) with their eyes opened, group B received (VFDWBV), and group C received conservative treatment only. The stability of the prosthetic leg, stability limit, and sway index (m-CTSIB) were assessed at the beginning and after 12 weeks. Sessions occurred three times each week.
Results: Significant statistical differences were seen in the stability of prosthetic legs, the limit of stability, and (m-CTSIB) between groups A and B, considering the treatment interaction (F = 24.8, p = 0.001). Additionally, the group receiving VFDWBV showed a more significant improvement in postural steadiness than those receiving WBV and the control group.
Conclusion: Utilizing VFDWBV at a frequency of 30 HZ can significantly enhance the stability of posture in individuals with unilateral traumatic trans-femoral amputations.
Trial registration: The study was registered with the Clinical Trials.gov (NCT06284733).
期刊介绍：
Physiotherapy Research International is an international peer reviewed journal dedicated to the exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to specialist areas of physiotherapy theory, practice, and research. Our aim is to promote a high level of scholarship and build on the current evidence base to inform the advancement of the physiotherapy profession. We publish original research on a wide range of topics e.g. Primary research testing new physiotherapy treatments; methodological research; measurement and outcome research and qualitative research of interest to researchers, clinicians and educators. Further, we aim to publish high quality papers that represent the range of cultures and settings where physiotherapy services are delivered. We attract a wide readership from physiotherapists and others working in diverse clinical and academic settings. We aim to promote an international debate amongst the profession about current best evidence based practice. Papers are directed primarily towards the physiotherapy profession, but can be relevant to a wide range of professional groups. The growth of interdisciplinary research is also key to our aims and scope, and we encourage relevant submissions from other professional groups. The journal actively encourages submissions which utilise a breadth of different methodologies and research designs to facilitate addressing key questions related to the physiotherapy practice. PRI seeks to encourage good quality topical debates on a range of relevant issues and promote critical reflection on decision making and implementation of physiotherapy interventions.
