Walking and balance study for leg amputees
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have had a leg amputation, either below or above the knee.
- You can understand simple instructions and follow directions.
- You do not have any other serious medical condition that affects walking (like a stroke or severe arthritis).

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 looks at how attention and surroundings affect walking in people with a lower leg amputation. It may help improve mobility and independence.
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 tests a special balance training program for people who use a prosthetic leg after losing a leg due to injury. The program combines balance exercises with a second task (like talking or counting) to improve walking and stability in daily life.
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 compares how people walk using an osseointegrated prosthesis (a prosthesis connected to the bone) versus a traditional socket prosthesis. It may help researchers understand which option works better for walking balance, comfort, and function.
