Computer-controlled knee for above-knee amputees
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new kind of prosthetic knee that uses a computer to control movement. It may help you walk better and feel more stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have lost one leg above the knee (not both).
- You have been using a prosthetic leg for at least 1 year.
- Your current prosthetic knee is non-computerized (mechanical).
- Your residual limb has good skin and sensation.
- You have a good socket fit.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study tests a new bionic knee called the Ossur Power Knee for people with an above-knee amputation. It looks at how well the knee helps with walking and balance, which may lead to better mobility.
This trial tests a new way to personalize a computerized prosthetic leg for people who have lost a leg above the knee. It uses smart learning technology to help the leg adjust to how you walk, which may make walking feel more natural.
This trial studies how much energy it takes to walk when using passive versus powered prosthetic knees. It may help people understand which knee type could make walking feel easier depending on their needs.
This trial tests a new powered leg prosthesis that you control with your own neural signals. It aims to help people with above-knee amputations walk more naturally in everyday situations.
This study looks at how a powered (motorized) prosthetic knee joint affects walking in people with one above-knee amputation. It aims to find out if the powered knee makes walking easier or more natural.
This study tests a high-tech powered knee and foot for people who have a leg amputation above the knee and have (or are candidates for) a bone-anchored implant. The goal is to see if the powered prosthesis helps with walking and daily activities.
