Walking and energy in children with leg amputations
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how children with a lower limb amputation walk and use energy. It may help improve prosthetic care and rehabilitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 7 years or older.
- You have a leg amputation, either from birth or from an injury or illness.
- You have a permanent (definitive) prosthetic leg.
- Your parents or legal guardians agree to let you take part.
- You have not had surgery on your remaining limb (stump) in the last 3 months.
- You do not have a condition like an active sarcoma that strongly affects your walking.

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.
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 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 if two non-invasive treatments — gentle electrical stimulation on the skin and brief pressure cycles on the leg — can improve how well you walk and move after having a lower limb amputation. You would visit the research lab several times to receive these treatments and have your walking, balance, and strength measured.
This study tests a new approach to improve walking ability and leg function after an above-knee (transfemoral) amputation. It may help by targeting muscle loss and supporting safer, stronger mobility over time.
This study tests new motorized prosthetic legs (artificial limbs) to see if they help people walk better and farther. You'll wear the device and do some walking activities to help researchers understand if it improves movement and quality of life.
