Testing a brain-controlled leg prosthesis in real-world tasks
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have one leg amputated above the knee (transfemoral amputation).
- You can already walk at different speeds (functional level K3 or above).
- You have a properly fitting prosthetic socket.
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 powered knee called the Ossur Power Knee to see how it affects walking for people who have had an above-the-knee amputation. It might help you walk more smoothly and with less effort.
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 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 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 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.
