NCT ID NCT07397169
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adjustable prosthetic sockets can help veterans with lower leg amputations by measuring pressure and comfort during different activities. Twenty-five veterans will use a custom socket with adjustable panels for two weeks, then perform tasks like walking and sitting while sensors record pressure. The goal is to see if these sockets maintain a good fit over time, potentially reducing the need for costly replacements.
