Testing a new prosthetic foot for comfort and safety
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of prosthetic foot that moves more like a natural foot. It aims to see if it is more comfortable and safer to use, and how it affects your walking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have had a leg amputation (above or below the knee, or at the hip).
- You have completed your rehabilitation after the amputation.
- You are at a mobility level that allows walking with a prosthetic (K2–K4).
- You do not have a neurological disease or severe limb pain/open wounds.

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 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 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 looks at how to better choose and train people with a new prosthetic foot after a below-knee amputation. It may help you find a foot that fits your needs and improve your walking.
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.
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.
