AMPUTATION

This study is testing a new way to control prosthetic arms using ultrasound imaging instead of traditional electrical sensors. It aims to see if this method provides more intuitive and precise control for people with below-elbow amputations. Researchers will compare the new ultra…

This study is testing a new, fully implanted system designed to give people with below-knee amputations more natural and intuitive control over a robotic prosthetic leg. Up to seven participants will have small magnetic beads and electrodes surgically placed in their residual lim…

This study aims to find the best prosthetic liner to manage sweat for people with below-knee amputations. Researchers are comparing three different liners, including two with tiny holes to let sweat drain, to see which one improves comfort, stability, and security the most. The g…

This study is testing a new 40-week training program designed to help people with above-the-knee amputations walk more evenly with their bone-anchored prosthetic leg. Researchers will compare the new training, which uses real-time feedback on weight-bearing, to standard rehabilit…

This study aims to create a toolkit to help clinicians better understand and improve how people with leg amputations use their prosthetic limbs in daily life. Researchers will use data from smartphone apps, wearable sensors, and interviews with 66 participants to identify factors…

This study looks back at the medical records of about 20 patients who had a limb amputated to stop severe, untreatable chronic pain (a condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome). The goal is to understand how long it took them to get fitted with a prosthetic limb and return…

This study aimed to understand what kinds of sensations can be created by electrically stimulating nerves in the spinal cord. Researchers planned to work with a small group of people who already had a temporary spinal cord stimulator implanted for pain. They would test different …
