How prosthetic sockets move on your leg during activity
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study examines how prosthetic sockets shift and move on your residual limb (the part of your leg remaining after amputation) during everyday activities. Understanding these movements may help improve socket design and comfort for people wearing prosthetics.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 16 years old
- You have a transtibial amputation (amputation below the knee) on one side only
- You have been actively wearing a prosthesis for at least 12 months
- Your prosthesis activity level is K2, K3, or K4 (able to walk with variable cadence or participate in more demanding activities)
- You can understand and communicate in Norwegian, both spoken and written
- You have a digital file of your current socket model available for the researchers to use

This study tests how different prosthetic foot stiffness levels affect walking, balance, and comfort in people with a below-knee amputation who use either a bone-anchored implant or a traditional socket. Participating may help match the right foot to your needs and improve your daily mobility.
This study uses a special X-ray and markers to measure how your leg and skin move inside your prosthetic socket while you walk. It may help researchers better understand fit and comfort for people with transtibial (below-knee) amputations.
This study tests a new type of prosthetic socket that can be adjusted, aiming to improve comfort and fit for veterans who have lost a leg below the knee. If successful, it could help you walk more easily and with less irritation.
This trial compares a new flexible prosthetic socket design to the rigid socket you currently wear. The goal is to see if the new socket is more comfortable, easier to put on, and improves how well your prosthetic leg works for daily activities.
This study tests a new system to measure how well a prosthetic socket fits. If you have a leg amputation above the knee and use a prosthesis regularly, this could help improve your comfort and mobility.
This trial is testing a prosthetic socket that can automatically adjust to help fit better and feel more comfortable. It may help people with below-knee (transtibial) amputations who currently struggle with socket fit or comfort.
