Summary

This study looks at how skin temperature changes in people who have a leg amputation and diabetes. Researchers want to understand what affects temperature and blood flow in the remaining leg and the other foot. They will also test if a special shock-absorbing prosthetic leg can help keep skin temperature more stable. The goal is to find ways to reduce the risk of tissue problems and improve comfort.
