What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether adding a mental or motor task — like counting or carrying an object — to balance exercises helps people with lower-limb prostheses improve their balance, mobility, and mental health. Participants are adults who lost a leg due to trauma and now use a prosthetic limb. They will be randomly assigned to either standard rehab or standard rehab plus dual-task balance training for six weeks, with three sessions per week.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Dual-task balance training — a rehabilitation program that combines balance exercises with simultaneous cognitive or motor tasks
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a simple, low-cost way to improve balance and mental health for people using lower-limb prostheses after traumatic amputation.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-site trial with 63 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The training is behavioral and depends on participant effort and safety, which can vary.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 63 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 years or older. * Traumatic unilateral lower-limb amputation. * Transtibial or transfemoral amputation level. * Current lower-limb prosthesis user. * Able to stand and walk with the prosthesis, with or without an assistive device. * Medically stable and able to participate in a rehabilitation training program. * Able to understand and follow study instructions. * Provides written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Lower-limb amputation due to dysvascular, congenital, or non-traumatic causes. * Bilateral lower-limb amputation. * Severe cognitive impairment that prevents understanding or following study instructions. * Severe visual, vestibular, neurological, or musculoskeletal condition that significantly affects balance or walking independent of the amputation. * Unhealed residual limb wounds, severe pain, or skin problems that prevent safe prosthesis use. * Uncontrolled medical condition that makes participation unsafe. * Participation in another structured balance training program during the study period.
