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.
