Using feedback to improve prosthetic movement in amputees
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether movement “feedback” can help adults with arm or leg amputations control a prosthetic better. It may be most helpful if you can comfortably wear a prosthetic socket and can understand and consent to the study.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult age 18 or older
- You have a major arm amputation at or above the wrist or a major leg amputation at or above the ankle
- Your skin and pain are manageable enough to tolerate pressure from a prosthetic socket
- You can wear the prosthetic socket for testing/visits
- You can understand the study and provide informed consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests how different numbers and types of muscle signals (myoelectric) affect control of a prosthetic hand and wrist. It aims to find the best setup for people with a below-elbow amputation who have used a myoelectric prosthetic before.
This study is testing different ways to control an arm prosthesis for people missing a hand or lower arm (transradial amputation). It may help compare how well people can use a myoelectric (muscle-signal) prosthesis using either direct control or pattern recognition.
This study tests how well a prosthetic touch system can give realistic sensory feedback. It aims to improve how prosthetic users feel touch and movement, based on controlled testing in volunteers.
This study tests whether a nerve-based “feedback” system can help people with below-knee or above-knee amputations during standing and walking. It focuses on whether the training and device setup are safe and workable for participants over the study period.
This trial studies whether the MyoTrain system can help people with a below-elbow (trans-radial) arm amputation control a myoelectric prosthesis using muscle signals. It may help you practice and use a more “thought-to-movement” style control method if you meet the safety and participation requirements.
This study tests a new system to measure how well a prosthetic socket fits. If you have a leg amputation above the knee and use a prosthesis regularly, this could help improve your comfort and mobility.
