Relaxation plus physical therapy for traumatic limb loss
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a relaxation technique called progressive muscle relaxation to standard physical therapy can help reduce fatigue, improve mobility, and lower stress for people who have lost a leg due to injury and already use a prosthetic. It might be helpful if you're looking for ways to feel better and move more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
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 trial tests a supervised exercise program with weights and jumping activities to improve bone health in males with one leg amputated below the knee. If you're already using a prosthetic leg and walking well, this study might help strengthen your bones.
This study tests a muscle strength training program for people with a leg amputation who use a prosthetic leg. It aims to see if this type of exercise can help improve their strength and mobility.
