NCT ID NCT05225792
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an advanced balance perturbation training program can help warfighters with lower limb trauma—such as amputations or limb salvage—recover better. Researchers want to see if it increases weight-bearing on the injured limb and reduces stumbles and falls. The study involves 40 active duty service members and veterans enrolled in conventional rehabilitation.
