First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a special prosthetic foot that can adjust heel height from 0 to 7 cm, allowing users to wear different shoes or go barefoot. Thirty adults with leg amputations will try both their usual foot and the adjustable foot to see if it improves how they feel about their appearance and their ability to take part in daily activities. The goal is to give amputees more freedom in choosing their clothing and footwear.
