Testing movement with mobility assistive devices
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study measures how people move while using assistive devices during guided movement tasks, sometimes on a treadmill. It may help improve these tools and how safely they support different types of movement needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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 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.
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.
