Testing the Ossur Power Knee for above-knee amputees
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new bionic knee called the Ossur Power Knee for people with an above-knee amputation. It looks at how well the knee helps with walking and balance, which may lead to better mobility.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one leg amputated above the knee (not at the knee joint).
- You are between 45 and 75 years old.
- You have been using a prosthetic leg for at least 1 year.
- You can walk without a cane or walker for short distances.
- You have healthy skin and good feeling in your remaining limb.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new kind of prosthetic knee that uses a computer to control movement. It may help you walk better and feel more stable.
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 trial studies how much energy it takes to walk when using passive versus powered prosthetic knees. It may help people understand which knee type could make walking feel easier depending on their needs.
This study looks at how the length of the remaining part of your leg (residual limb) affects your strength, balance, and walking ability. If you have a transfemoral amputation (above the knee) and use a prosthesis, this trial may help researchers better understand your function.
This trial tests a new way to personalize a computerized prosthetic leg for people who have lost a leg above the knee. It uses smart learning technology to help the leg adjust to how you walk, which may make walking feel more natural.
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.
