What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study looks at how people with lower-limb amputations (below or above the knee) move, balance, and use energy when trying out new prosthetic devices. Up to 100 participants will complete walking tests, balance checks, and questionnaires over two visits. The goal is to see if modern, CE-marked prosthetics can improve everyday function compared to their usual equipment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
new prosthetic devices (CE-marked) including walk tests, balance analysis, and questionnaires
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show that newer prosthetic devices help people with leg amputations walk better and feel more stable.
What could go wrong
This is an early exploratory study with no control group, so results may not prove which device is best. Individual outcomes can vary widely.

Participants

About 100 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Sep 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jan 2032

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
