Resistance and loading exercise for bone health
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a supervised exercise program with weights and jumping activities to improve bone health in males with one leg amputated below the knee. If you're already using a prosthetic leg and walking well, this study might help strengthen your bones.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are male and between 18 and 55 years old.
- You have lost one leg below the knee due to injury and have been walking with a prosthetic for at least 6 months.
- You wear your prosthetic every day for most of the day and can walk independently with it.
- You can do jumping activities on your prosthetic leg.
- You have no other serious health conditions (like heart disease, diabetes, or neurological issues) and no pain or skin problems that prevent using the prosthetic.
- You can attend supervised training sessions and have access to a computer and the internet.

This study tests a new approach to improve walking ability and leg function after an above-knee (transfemoral) amputation. It may help by targeting muscle loss and supporting safer, stronger mobility over time.
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 muscle strength training program for people with a leg amputation who use a prosthetic leg. It aims to see if this type of exercise can help improve their strength and mobility.
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 looks at how people with a leg amputation change the way they walk to make up for lost function. It may help improve rehabilitation and prosthetic care.
This study tests a bone-anchored implant (directly attached to the thighbone) for people with a single leg amputation above the knee. It aims to see if this implant helps with pain, movement, and skin issues caused by a traditional socket prosthetic.
