Summary

This study tests a smart prosthetic leg that uses muscle signals from the user's thigh to control the knee and ankle. Ten adults with above-knee amputations will try the device on flat ground, stairs, and other real-world tasks. Researchers will measure how well the leg moves, how stable users feel, and how natural the device feels to use.
