Relaxation and physical therapy for leg amputation fatigue
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a simple muscle relaxation exercise to standard physical therapy helps reduce fatigue, improve mobility, and lower stress for people who have lost one leg due to trauma and already use a prosthesis. It is being conducted in the Gaza Strip.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 59 years old.

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 trial tests whether adding both psychological support and physical therapy check-ins before and after leg amputation improves recovery and rehab planning. It may help patients feel better and regain function during the transition to rehabilitation care.
This study tests whether a muscle-strengthening program can help people with a lower-limb amputation who use a prosthesis. It focuses on improving leg strength and walking ability.
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 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 trial tests a rapid rehabilitation approach for people with certain leg injuries, including amputations and limb salvage, while you are already in standard rehab. It may help improve walking and balance after trauma by using a structured training program.
