NCT ID NCT05112679
First seen Nov 12, 2025 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study looked at how powered ankle prostheses change the pressure inside the prosthetic socket and the health of the residual limb in people with below-knee amputations. Six adults who already use a standard prosthetic leg walked on level ground with different types of prostheses to compare socket pressures and skin blood flow. The goal is to help design better-fitting, more comfortable artificial limbs.
