About this trial
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effectiveness of dual-task balance training on balance, mobility, and mental health among traumatic lower-limb prosthesis users in the Gaza Strip. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving dual-task balance training in addition to standard rehabilitation or a control group receiving standard rehabilitation only. The intervention will be delivered over 6 weeks, with three sessions per week. Balance and mobility will be assessed using the Berg Balance Scale and the Amputee Mobility Predictor with Prosthesis, while mental health will be assessed using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21.
