Using phantom sensations from socket changes as feedback while walking
This trial tests whether changing how your prosthetic socket fits can create helpful phantom limb sensations that improve your walking. It may help people with major lower-limb amputations walk more naturally.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a major leg amputation (above the ankle).
- You can understand and speak French.
- You are covered by French social security.
- You do not have any pain that affects your walking (in your back, stump, phantom limb, or other leg).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are 18 years or older and not under legal guardianship.
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 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 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 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 trial tests a new training approach to help people who have lost or were born without an arm below the elbow or higher. The training uses sensory and movement exercises to improve how you control a prosthetic device.
This trial is testing a system called Suralis to see if it can help evaluate phantom limb pain — pain that feels like it's coming from a missing leg. It's for people who have had a leg amputated below or above the knee, use a prosthetic regularly, and have daily pain scoring at least 3 out of 10.
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.
