Testing a New Prosthetic Foot for Comfort and Safety
This study evaluates a new articulated (jointed) prosthetic foot designed to improve comfort, safety, and movement in people with lower-limb amputation. Researchers will measure how well it works and how it feels compared to standard prosthetics.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18–80 years old
- You have had a lower-limb amputation (one or both legs) at any level
- Your amputation was caused by vascular disease, trauma, cancer, or was present from birth
- You have completed your post-amputation rehabilitation program
- You are able to walk with a prosthetic foot at a moderate to high activity level (K2–K4 level)
- You do not have uncontrolled residual limb pain or open wounds

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.
This study tests a “test-drive” approach to help improve walking stability using different prosthetic feet. You may be asked to try study prosthetic feet during walking tests to see what helps your balance and comfort.
This study tests a new type of prosthetic foot designed to help people walk more naturally. If you use a prosthetic foot and can walk short distances, this trial may help you move better.
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 whether a personalized prosthetic foot prescription and tailored walking program can improve mobility and comfort for veterans with a below-knee amputation. It may help you find a better prosthetic foot and get guided rehab to walk more easily.
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.
