Powered prosthetic leg for bone-anchored amputees
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a high-tech powered knee and foot for people who have a leg amputation above the knee and have (or are candidates for) a bone-anchored implant. The goal is to see if the powered prosthesis helps with walking and daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a single leg amputation above the knee.
- You already use a prosthetic leg.
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You are able to walk at least a little (K2 level or higher).
- You are a candidate for (or already have) a bone-anchored implant (osseointegration) and/or a nerve rerouting surgery (targeted muscle reinnervation).
- You do not smoke cigarettes and do not have active medical implants.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This trial tests how different numbers and types of muscle signals (myoelectric) affect control of a prosthetic hand and wrist. It aims to find the best setup for people with a below-elbow amputation who have used a myoelectric prosthetic before.
This trial studies whether the MyoTrain system can help people with a below-elbow (trans-radial) arm amputation control a myoelectric prosthesis using muscle signals. It may help you practice and use a more “thought-to-movement” style control method if you meet the safety and participation requirements.
This study compares a non-powered (mechanical) knee to a powered (battery-assisted) knee for people with above-knee amputations who walk at a moderate level (K2). It will help find out which knee type works better for your daily activities and 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 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.
