Scientists test 3D printed 'Bionic' foot for amputees

NCT ID NCT06938087

Summary

This small pilot study tested the safety and performance of a new type of prosthetic foot made using 3D printing. The foot is designed to store energy when it touches the ground and return it during push-off, aiming to make walking feel more natural and require less effort. Three adults with below-knee amputations tried the custom-made device during walking and other daily tasks to see how it performed.
