This study aimed to investigate the effect of eight weeks of a comprehensive rehabilitation protocol on indicators of postural control, back pain, quality of life, and gait speed in adults with unilateral lower limb amputation.</span></span></span></span></span><br>

The subjects were selected by purposive sampling and were assigned into training and control groups. The training group received proper posture, correcting daily life activities, teaching the correct use of prosthesis, and mirror therapy for eight weeks. However, the control group followed their routine daily life activities. A dynamic computer posturography machine was used to evaluate the postural control indicators. Low back pain was measured by a visual analog scale. The quality of life was evaluated using TAPES and CLASS questionnaires. And the gait speed was checked by a 2-minute gait test.</span></span></span></span></span><br>
