Gait training for veterans with leg amputations
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a walking rehabilitation plan to improve how you walk after a lower-leg amputation. It may help if your walking steps are uneven and you have diabetes and/or circulation problems in your legs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one lower-leg (transtibial) amputation on one side, not from an injury
- Your amputation is not from cancer or trauma
- You have diabetes and and/or peripheral artery disease (poor blood flow to the legs)
- You can walk outside the home without using a walking aid
- You had the amputation at least 6 months ago
- Your walking pattern shows step-length unevenness during walking

This study tests a home-based walking program delivered through telehealth for Veterans with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It aims to help you walk farther with less pain.
This study tests a new training program to help improve walking and balance for people with one leg amputation. You'll visit UNLV six times for practice sessions.
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.
This study tests two therapies—one that briefly squeezes the leg with a blood pressure cuff and another that uses mild electrical pulses—to see if they can help people walk better after a leg amputation.
This trial looks at outcomes after a below-knee (lower-leg) amputation in Veterans. It focuses on people who have blood flow likely to heal and who plan to join rehabilitation to walk again with a prosthesis.
This study looks at how to better choose and train people with a new prosthetic foot after a below-knee amputation. It may help you find a foot that fits your needs and improve your walking.
