Personalizing a computerized leg for above-knee amputees
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one leg amputated above the knee (transfemoral amputation).
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your amputation happened more than one year ago.
- You have been using your current prosthetic socket and leg for more than three months.
- You can walk for more than 4 minutes without using a cane, walker, or other device.

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 kind of prosthetic knee that uses a computer to control movement. It may help you walk better and feel more stable.
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 whether a microprocessor-controlled knee can reduce falls in people who walk limited distances. If you use a regular mechanical knee and have a moderate activity level, this trial might help you walk more safely.
This study tests whether a motorized (powered) prosthetic knee and ankle can help people with above-knee amputations walk better. If you already use a mechanical or microprocessor-controlled leg, you may be able to try a new powered version.
This study looks at how a powered (motorized) prosthetic knee joint affects walking in people with one above-knee amputation. It aims to find out if the powered knee makes walking easier or more natural.
