Testing a smart bionic leg for different walking activities
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- If you are an able-bodied volunteer, you must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- If you have a leg amputation, you must be between 18 and 70 years old and weigh less than 250 pounds.
- You must be able to walk for at least 20 minutes without help.
- You should not have any major muscle, nerve, or bone conditions that would affect walking.
- You cannot have a history of heart, balance, or vision problems that could interfere with the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study looks at how people with a leg amputation change the way they walk to make up for lost function. It may help improve rehabilitation and prosthetic care.
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 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 whether a microprocessor-controlled knee can reduce falls in people who walk limited distances. If you use a regular mechanical knee and have a moderate activity level, this trial might help you walk more safely.
This study looks at how a powered (motorized) prosthetic knee joint affects walking in people with one above-knee amputation. It aims to find out if the powered knee makes walking easier or more natural.
