Smart tool to help check prosthetic socket fit
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one transtibial (below-knee) amputation on only one side.
- You have used your current prosthetic leg for at least 1 year.
- You’ve used your current socket for at least 6 months without major skin problems or major changes.
- You can walk for 3 minutes without needing to stop to rest.
- The fibula bone length in your residual limb is more than half of the fibula length on your other (unaffected) side.

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.
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 wireless skin sensor that sticks to your residual limb (the part of your leg below the knee where you wear your prosthetic). The goal is to track how your skin is doing inside the socket. If you qualify, you'll visit North Carolina State University to try the sensor and be photographed during research activities.
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 study is testing a new 'smart' prosthetic socket (the part that fits over your residual limb) that monitors how your limb changes during the day. It aims to help improve fit and comfort for people with below-knee amputations.
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.
