NCT ID NCT07159490

Summary

This study tested different prosthetic feet to see which one helps people with below-knee amputations walk better while carrying heavy loads. Thirteen participants walked on a treadmill while carrying a weighted pack to simulate holding a child or a heavy bag. Researchers measured how well different prosthetic feet supported their weight, helped them move forward, and kept their balance.
