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 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 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 trial tests whether a “split gait” walking training method can improve walking balance and how you move when you have one-sided leg problems and pain or limitations when walking. It may help reduce walking difficulties by training your stepping pattern safely.
This study tests a program to help people who have lost a leg due to diabetes or blood vessel disease become more active. It uses coaching and online modules to support your progress.
This study looks at how people who have lost a leg walk, balance, and move with an artificial limb (prosthesis). Participating helps researchers understand how to improve prosthetic devices and rehabilitation.
