Gait study comparing prosthetic walking types in adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares how people walk using an osseointegrated prosthesis (a prosthesis connected to the bone) versus a traditional socket prosthesis. It may help researchers understand which option works better for walking balance, comfort, and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your body size is in a healthy range after adjusting for your amputation (BMI between 18 and 25).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 tests a new type of bionic leg that can adjust to different walking speeds and activities. You may be able to join if you are a healthy adult or an adult with a leg amputation who can walk well.
This study tests a new prosthetic leg controller that helps people with below-knee amputations walk more steadily and with better balance. You may be eligible if you have used a prosthetic leg for at least a year and are comfortable walking in the community.
This study tests a motorized lower-limb prosthesis (an artificial leg with motor assistance) to see how well people can walk with it. It may help improve walking for people with or without an amputation.
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.
