Extremity Thermographic Values in Individuals With Transtibial Amputation

Turkey (Türkiye)21 participantsStarted 2024-09-01

Plain-language summary

The goal of this observational study is to compare thermographic values in the knee region of the healthy extremity and the amputated extremity and learn about the relationship between thermographic value and pain in the knee region of the amputated extremity. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do thermal values in the knee region of the amputated extremity and the intact extremity differ in individuals with transtibial amputation? 2. Is there a relationship between the pain felt in the knee region of the amputated limb and the difference in thermal values between the extremities in individuals with transtibial amputation?
