Fast rehab program for leg injuries and amputations
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a rapid rehabilitation approach for people with certain leg injuries, including amputations and limb salvage, while you are already in standard rehab. It may help improve walking and balance after trauma by using a structured training program.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an active-duty service member or a retired veteran
- You have a leg injury like an amputation (below-knee or above-knee) or limb salvage
- You must be currently enrolled in usual rehab at a participating military treatment center
- If you have an amputation, you should be able to walk in the community (K-Level 3 or 4)
- If limb salvage applies, you must be enrolled in the Return-to-Run training program (IDEO required)
- You must not have severe pain or other nerve/muscle problems that stop you from doing the training tests

This study looks at whether improving what you can use for your prosthesis and footwear can improve comfort, balance, and daily activities. It focuses on women Veterans with below-knee (transtibial) amputations who already use a well-fitting prosthesis.
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 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 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 tests whether a personalized prosthetic foot prescription and tailored walking program can improve mobility and comfort for veterans with a below-knee amputation. It may help you find a better prosthetic foot and get guided rehab to walk more easily.
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.
