Testing a prosthetic socket that adjusts automatically
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial is testing a prosthetic socket that can automatically adjust to help fit better and feel more comfortable. It may help people with below-knee (transtibial) amputations who currently struggle with socket fit or comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- Your below-knee amputation happened at least 12 months ago
- Your remaining lower-leg limb is at least 9 cm long
- You can walk continuously for at least 5 minutes and also walk intermittently for 1 hour
- You regularly use a prosthesis with a pin-lock type connection and few or no pads
- You don’t have open sores or wounds on your remaining limb

This study tests an easy-to-use smart system (called ENABLE) that helps assess whether a prosthetic socket fits your leg well. It may help improve comfort and reduce skin problems by making sure the socket fit is assessed in a consistent, affordable way.
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 adjustable prosthetic sockets that may improve comfort and fit for veterans with below-knee amputations. If you currently use a prosthesis, this could help make walking more comfortable.
This study tests a prosthetic foot that automatically adjusts its stiffness while you walk to help you keep your balance in daily life. It might make walking feel more steady and natural for people with a below-knee amputation.
This study tests a new system to measure how well your prosthetic socket fits. It could help improve comfort and function for people with a leg amputation above the knee.
This trial compares a new flexible prosthetic socket design to the rigid socket you currently wear. The goal is to see if the new socket is more comfortable, easier to put on, and improves how well your prosthetic leg works for daily activities.
