Magnetic beads helping control a robotic leg
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new system that uses tiny magnetic beads to help a robotic leg move more naturally. It aims to improve function for people who need a below-knee amputation or already have one that needs fixing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 22 and 65 years old.
- You have a below-knee amputation that needs a fix, or you need a new below-knee amputation after trying all other options.
- You can walk at different speeds (with or without a prosthetic leg).
- You have enough muscle and skin in your leg to heal well after surgery.
- You can move the muscles where the magnets will go, and are willing to travel for all study visits.

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 tests a new powered ankle prosthesis (an artificial foot with a motor) that you control using signals from your nerves and receive feedback through gentle stimulation on your skin. The goal is to see if it helps you walk more naturally and perform daily activities with better balance and control.
This study tests whether a nerve-based “feedback” system can help people with below-knee or above-knee amputations during standing and walking. It focuses on whether the training and device setup are safe and workable for participants over the study period.
This study tests a new type of bionic leg that can adjust to different walking speeds and activities. You may be able to join if you are a healthy adult or an adult with a leg amputation who can walk well.
This study tests a new prosthetic leg controller that helps people with below-knee amputations walk more steadily and with better balance. You may be eligible if you have used a prosthetic leg for at least a year and are comfortable walking in the community.
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.
