Prosthetic performance enhancement trial
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a lower-limb amputation at the ankle or higher.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You regularly use a walking prosthetic at home or in the community.
- Your prosthetic socket fits well (a score of 8–10 on the fit comfort scale).
- You can walk for three minutes at a time, with or without a cane or walker.
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 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 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.
This study tests a new type of prosthetic foot designed to help people walk more naturally. If you use a prosthetic foot and can walk short distances, this trial may help you move better.
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 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 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.
