Muscle strength training for leg amputees
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had one leg amputated (either below or above the knee).
- You wear a prosthetic leg (artificial limb) regularly.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You can complete the initial assessment.
- You are not currently doing another strength training program.

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 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 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 looks at how the length of the remaining part of your leg (residual limb) affects your strength, balance, and walking ability. If you have a transfemoral amputation (above the knee) and use a prosthesis, this trial may help researchers better understand your function.
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.
