Strength training for lower limb amputees
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a muscle-strengthening program can help people with a lower-limb amputation who use a prosthesis. It focuses on improving leg strength and walking ability.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have lost one leg below or above the knee (or both levels on the same side), and you use a prosthetic limb.
- Your age is between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are willing and able to complete an initial assessment of your strength and mobility.
- You are not currently in any other extra training program beyond what you normally do.

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 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 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 study is for people with diabetes or blood vessel disease who are at risk for losing a leg, have already had a lower leg amputation, or use a prosthetic leg. It focuses on a rehabilitation program that helps with both physical and emotional adjustment.
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.
