Balance Training for People with a Prosthetic Leg
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You lost one leg below or above the knee due to an injury (like a car crash or accident).
- You currently use a prosthetic leg (artificial limb) and can walk with or without a cane or walker.
- Your health is stable enough to take part in a rehabilitation program, and you have no serious wounds, pain, or skin problems on your residual limb.

This study tests whether practicing two tasks at the same time (like walking while talking) can improve balance and reduce fall risk in people who have lost one leg above the knee and use a prosthetic limb.
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 muscle-strengthening program can help people with a lower-limb amputation who use a prosthesis. It focuses on improving leg strength and walking ability.
This study tests a balance training program that uses visual targets. It aims to see if this training helps improve balance, daily function, and reduce fear of falling in people who have had a fall recently.
This study tests a new way to measure balance in people who have a below-knee amputation on one leg. It uses special sensors to see how well the legs work together during movement, which could help improve prosthetic fit and rehabilitation.
This study tests a new training program to help improve walking and balance for people with one leg amputation. You'll visit UNLV six times for practice sessions.
