Testing the Caesar running foot for people with below-knee amputations
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a below-knee amputation on one or both legs
- You want to run but don't currently have a running blade
- You are at least 18 years old
- Your amputation happened at least 6 months ago
- A certified prosthetist says you are active enough (K3 or K4 level) and can run safely
- Your current socket fits well and you have enough room for the Caesar foot

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 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 “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 studies how running with a sports blade affects your body's movement and energy use. It may help improve training and blade design for runners with a below-knee amputation.
This trial tests a prosthetic foot that lets you adjust the heel height so you can comfortably walk in different shoes or barefoot. It is for people with a leg amputation who already use a certain type of prosthetic foot and want more flexibility in their footwear.
