Study of walking expectations on slopes and stairs after limb amputation
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with a leg amputation think about and perform walking on stairs and up/down slopes. It may help researchers understand what supports safer, more confident mobility.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You can give oral consent (you understand and agree to join)
- You are an adult (male or female)
- You can understand simple instructions about walking and moving
- If you have a leg amputation: it must be one side (unilateral) and for at least 3 months

This study looks at how people who have lost a leg walk, balance, and move with an artificial limb (prosthesis). Participating helps researchers understand how to improve prosthetic devices and rehabilitation.
This study looks at what makes walking harder for people with a lower limb amputation. Participants will walk on a treadmill to help researchers understand these limits and improve rehabilitation.
This study looks at how people with a leg amputation change the way they walk to make up for lost function. It may help improve rehabilitation and prosthetic care.
This study tests a new way to measure balance in people who have a below-knee amputation on one leg. It uses special sensors to see how well the legs work together during movement, which could help improve prosthetic fit and rehabilitation.
This study tests whether a new prosthetic foot can help people with a lower-limb amputation walk better. You will use your current foot and the new foot, and we will measure how well you walk.
This study looks at how people with a leg amputation get around both walking and using a wheelchair or scooter. It aims to understand community mobility to help improve care and devices.
