Summary

This study compares a new adjustable prosthetic socket to a standard rigid socket in 40 veterans with leg amputations. Participants will walk on a treadmill at different speeds while researchers measure how evenly they walk and how comfortable the socket feels. The goal is to find a socket design that improves rehabilitation and daily function.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Adjustable Quatro socket (prosthetic device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better-fitting prosthetic sockets that improve comfort, walking symmetry, and quality of life for people with lower-limb amputations.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The adjustable socket may not prove significantly better than conventional sockets.
