Summary
This study is testing a new lightweight, motorized prosthetic leg for people who have lost a leg above the knee. The goal is to see if it helps them walk, climb stairs, and move more easily compared to their current prosthesis. About 40 adults who already use a prosthetic leg will try different settings and controllers to find what works best.
