Amputation study reveals hidden links between core and gait
NCT ID NCT07203235
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 26 adults—some with a lower-leg amputation and some without—to see how amputation affects core muscle function, endurance, balance, and walking. Participants performed simple tests like reproducing knee angles and balancing. The goal is to understand these relationships to improve future rehabilitation.
