Testing a new prosthetic knee for mental ease
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a new prosthetic knee system helps reduce mental effort while walking for people with above-knee amputations. If you use a prosthetic leg and are comfortable with a smartphone, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a single above-knee (transfemoral) amputation.
- You currently use an above-knee prosthesis with a knee and foot.
- You are between 18 and 84 years old.
- You have a smartphone and are covered by health insurance.
- Your body weight is 125 kg (about 275 pounds) or less, and your knee-to-ground measurement is at least 43 cm.

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.
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 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 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 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.
