Dual-task training for balance and fall prevention in above-knee amputees
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing specific balance exercises while performing everyday tasks (like talking or carrying something) can improve balance and reduce falls in people who use a prosthetic leg after losing a leg above the knee. If you've had your prosthesis for a while, this training might help you feel more steady and confident.
