Summary

This study looks at whether a special prosthetic ankle that reads muscle signals can help people with below-knee amputations improve their balance and stability. About 50 adults who have had an amputation for at least two years will train with this powered ankle and be compared to a group using their regular prosthetic. The goal is to see if this technology leads to more natural movement and less mental effort when walking or standing.
