Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06160882Recruiting
Powered prosthetic leg for bone-anchored amputees
This study tests a high-tech powered knee and foot for people who have a leg amputation above the knee and have (or are candidates for) a bone-anchored implant. The goal is to see if the powered prosthesis helps with walking and daily activities.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT05929508Recruiting
Rebuilding leg strength after above-knee amputation
This study tests a new approach to improve walking ability and leg function after an above-knee (transfemoral) amputation. It may help by targeting muscle loss and supporting safer, stronger mobility over time.

Testing the Ossur Power Knee for above-knee amputees
This study tests a new bionic knee called the Ossur Power Knee for people with an above-knee amputation. It looks at how well the knee helps with walking and balance, which may lead to better mobility.

Surgery options for long-term pain after limb amputation
This trial studies different surgical approaches to reduce persistent pain in the leftover part of an amputated limb. You may be able to join if your post-amputation pain has lasted more than a year and your pain level stays high despite stable pain treatments and prosthesis use.

What taking part in a amputation study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
