Core muscle and balance study for lower limb amputees
This study looks at how core muscle function and balance work in people with a single leg amputation who use a prosthesis. It aims to understand how these factors affect daily activities and may help improve rehabilitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 60 years old.
- You have one leg amputated (either below or above the knee) and use a prosthetic leg.
- You are able to stand without a walking aid (like a cane or walker).
- You use your prosthetic leg for at least 4 hours every day.
- You do not have severe phantom or residual limb pain.
- You are not severely overweight (BMI below 30).

This study looks at how your feet and leg muscles work together when you move. It may help researchers understand how foot mechanics affect balance and muscle function in young adults who don't exercise regularly.
This study looks at how the percentage of arm loss affects balance, neck and back pain, daily activities, and reaction time in people with one arm amputated who use a myoelectric or bionic hand. It may help understand how to improve care and rehabilitation.
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 is testing different ways to control an arm prosthesis for people missing a hand or lower arm (transradial amputation). It may help compare how well people can use a myoelectric (muscle-signal) prosthesis using either direct control or pattern recognition.
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 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.
