The aim of the study to investigate any relation with functional parameters and femoral cartilage thickness evaluation by ultrasonography in lower extremity amputate individuals.
In this prospective observational study, subjects approached Tertiary Rehabilitation Clinics for prothesis recipe or long term outpatient follow up was 150 people. Among them 76 subjects accepted to enroll study. Informed consent was taken. Subjects firstly performed clinical parameters at the first doctor's control. Knee radiography has been performed.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Femoral Cartilage Thickness | The transtibial amputee's both knees femoral cartilage are measured. The transfemoral group is measured only femoral cartilage of intact side. 10 subjects are randomised for intraobserver reliability and reevaluated one month after their first measure. | Day 1 |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scale (TAPES) | Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scale(3 parts) TAPES Psychosocial maximum:75 minimum:15 points. Higher points indicate better psychosocial outcomes. TAPES activity restriction Maximum:24 minimum:0 points. Higher points indicate more activity restricted. TAPES Prosthesis Pleasant Maximum:75 Minimum:15 higher points indicate much pleasant about prothesis |

| Day 1 |
| Houghton Scale | The Houghton scale is a 4-item instrument that accesses prosthetic use in people with lower extremity amputations. It reflects a person's perception of prosthetic use. It's self-administered and easy to score. Maximum:12 points. Minimum:0 Higher scores indicate better accesses. | Day 1 |
| Short Form - 12 (SF-12) | The SF-12 is a self-reported outcome measure assessing the impact of health on an individual's everyday life. It is often used as a quality of life measure. Maximum:43 points minimum:12 points. Higher points indicate a higher quality of life. | Day 1 |
| Falls Efficacy Scale | On a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being very confident and 10 being not confident at all, how confident are you that you do the following activities without falling? A total score of greater than 70 indicates that the person has a fear of falling. Minimum:0 Maximum:100 points. | Day 1 |
| Medicare Functional Classification Levels (K levels) | Level 0: Does not have the ability or potential to ambulate or transfer safely with or without assistance and a prosthesis does not enhance their quality of life or mobility Level 1: Has the ability or potential to use a prosthesis for transfers or ambulation on level surfaces at fixed cadence. Typical of the limited and unlimited household ambulators. Level 2: Has the ability or potential for ambulation with the ability to traverse low-level environmental barriers such as curbs, stairs, or uneven surfaces. Typical of the limited community ambulator. Level 3: Has the ability or potential for ambulation with variable cadence. Typical of the community ambulator who has the ability to traverse most environmental barriers and may have vocational, therapeutic, or exercise activity that demands prosthetic utilization beyond simple locomotion. Level 4: Typical of the prosthetic demands of the child, active adult, or athlete. Minimum: K0 Maximum: K4 | Day 1 |
| Locomotor Capabilities Index (LCI) -5 | The LCI is a disease-specific, self-administered instrument for assessing locomotor abilities generally considered essential for basic and advanced activity daily livings of people with lower-limb amputation and an enabling factor associated with long-term prosthetic use. It is easily administered and quickly completed. Maximum:56 Minimum:0 points. Higher scores indicate better locomotor capacity. | Day 1 |
