Test of different prosthetic foot and ankle mechanisms
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares different prosthetic foot and ankle designs for people who have an above-ankle (transtibial) amputation. It may help find which designs work best for your mobility level.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a one-sided (unilateral) transtibial amputation (above the ankle).
- Your mobility level is K3 or K4 (you can walk with varying challenges, depending on the level).
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your mobility rating is not below K3 (the study is not for lower mobility levels).
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study tests how different prosthetic foot stiffness levels affect walking, balance, and comfort in people with a below-knee amputation who use either a bone-anchored implant or a traditional socket. Participating may help match the right foot to your needs and improve your daily mobility.
This study tests a new powered ankle prosthesis (an artificial foot with a motor) that you control using signals from your nerves and receive feedback through gentle stimulation on your skin. The goal is to see if it helps you walk more naturally and perform daily activities with better balance and control.
This trial tests a new powered leg prosthesis that you control with your own neural signals. It aims to help people with above-knee amputations walk more naturally in everyday situations.
This study tests a “test-drive” approach to help improve walking stability using different prosthetic feet. You may be asked to try study prosthetic feet during walking tests to see what helps your balance and comfort.
This study evaluates a new articulated (jointed) prosthetic foot designed to improve comfort, safety, and movement in people with lower-limb amputation. Researchers will measure how well it works and how it feels compared to standard prosthetics.
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.
