New training aims to fix uneven walking in leg prosthesis users

NCT ID NCT05695911

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a 40-week biofeedback training program can help people with a leg prosthesis (attached directly to the bone) walk with more equal weight on both legs. Fifteen participants will either receive the training or standard education. Researchers will measure feasibility, balance, and daily activity to see if the approach is worth testing in larger trials.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

limb-load biofeedback training

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a standard training method to help people with leg prostheses walk more symmetrically and reduce long-term joint problems.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 15 expected completers. The training is behavioral, so results may vary widely and may not apply to all amputees.
