Body temperature control study for below-knee amputees
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how your body adjusts its temperature while walking if you have a leg amputation below the knee. It may help researchers find better ways to keep you comfortable and safe during activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one leg amputated below the knee (not above the knee and not both legs).
- Your amputation happened at least 6 months ago.
- You are able to walk for 10 minutes straight without getting too tired.
- You can handle low-level obstacles like curbs, stairs, or uneven ground (this is called K2 level or higher).
- You do not have a neurological condition like stroke, severe brain injury, Parkinson's, or multiple sclerosis.
- You do not have an inflammatory condition like Raynaud's syndrome or rheumatoid arthritis.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 nerve-based “feedback” system can help people with below-knee or above-knee amputations during standing and walking. It focuses on whether the training and device setup are safe and workable for participants over the study period.
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 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 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 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.
