This study tests whether 3D-printed resin crowns and bridges work as well as traditional milled zirconia for people with dental implants. About 60 adults with one or two implants in the lower front jaw will receive either a 3D-printed resin restoration or a zirconia one. Research…

This study compares computer-controlled prosthetic knees (MPKs) to standard ones in 100 adults with above-knee amputations. The goal is to see if MPKs reduce fall-related health problems, improve mobility, and boost quality of life. Participants keep their current knee or receive…

This study is testing whether starting a special exercise program soon after reverse shoulder replacement surgery helps people recover better. The program focuses on strengthening and movement. Researchers will measure shoulder function, pain, strength, and muscle size in 40 adul…

This study tests a new prosthetic foot called the Caesar foot for people with below-knee amputations who want to run. Participants will use the foot at home for two months to see if it helps them move better and feel more active. The study involves 18 adults who are already good …

This study looks at how people cope physically and emotionally after losing a lower limb, often due to diabetes. Researchers will interview and test 70 participants to understand their challenges and how well they adapt. The goal is to improve rehabilitation programs by learning …

This study looks at how well people with below-elbow amputations can imagine movements and whether that skill helps them use their myoelectric prosthetic arm more effectively. Researchers will compare 30 amputees with a control group of non-amputees using questionnaires and menta…

This study is for adults with a leg amputation above the knee who currently use a mechanical (non-powered) knee. Researchers want to see if a powered knee helps them walk more and feel more confident. Participants will try both types of knees at home for three months each, and th…

This study looks at how changing the number and placement of sensors on a prosthetic arm affects how well people with below-elbow amputations can control it. About 32 adults who already use a myoelectric (muscle-signal) prosthetic will test different sensor setups while doing tas…

This study aims to understand how our sense of touch works by recording nerve signals in healthy volunteers. Researchers will use tiny needles and various stimuli to learn how the skin and nerves send touch information to the brain. The goal is to use this knowledge to create pro…
