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 looks at what makes walking harder for people with a lower limb amputation. Participants will walk on a treadmill to help researchers understand these limits and improve rehabilitation.
This study looks at how people with a leg amputation think about and perform walking on stairs and up/down slopes. It may help researchers understand what supports safer, more confident mobility.
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 trial tests a new running foot called Caesar for people with below-knee amputations who want to run but don't have a running blade yet. You'll try the foot at home and give feedback on how it works.
