Comparing a new fast-fit prosthetic leg to your current one
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new quick-to-make, custom below-knee prosthetic leg (called the UniLeg). It compares how well it works for daily walking versus your current prosthetic. The goal is to see if the new leg can be made faster and fit better, helping you stay active.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a below-the-knee amputation on one leg, and it has been over a year since your surgery.
- You currently use a prosthetic leg that does not have motors or sensors (a passive device).
- You do not have diabetes.
- You live within 50 miles of UCSD in Southern California.
- You are willing to walk at least 14,000 steps per week (about 1 mile per day) and follow the study schedule.

This study looks at how to better choose and train people with a new prosthetic foot after a below-knee amputation. It may help you find a foot that fits your needs and improve your walking.
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 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 a new type of prosthetic foot that moves more like a natural foot. It aims to see if it is more comfortable and safer to use, and how it affects your walking.
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 motorized lower-limb prosthesis (an artificial leg with motor assistance) to see how well people can walk with it. It may help improve walking for people with or without an amputation.
