The goal of this observational study is to investigate the effects of transtibial amputation on core function and endurance, and their relationship with proprioception, balance, and gait in adults with transtibial amputation and healthy controls. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do individuals with transtibial amputation show reduced core function and endurance compared to non-amputees? Is there a relationship between core function/endurance and proprioception, balance, and gait performance in transtibial amputees? Researchers will compare individuals with transtibial amputation to non-amputee individuals to see if there are significant differences in core endurance, posture, and functional abilities. Participants will: Perform tests to assess core function and muscular endurance Undergo evaluations of proprioception, balance, and gait
