Can a nike sole make running prostheses last longer?
NCT ID NCT04787640
First seen Sep 04, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026
Summary
This trial tests the Nike Sport Sole, an accessory that attaches to the Cheetah Xceed running prosthetic foot. The sole comes in two versions: a traction sole for general running and a spike pad for track use. Researchers will have three people with below-knee amputations use the sole for 6 to 8 weeks, then inspect it for wear and tear. The goal is to see if the sole holds up well and is easy to use during running.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Nike Sport Sole, an attachable and detachable accessory for the Cheetah Xceed running prosthetic foot, available in traction sole and spike pad versions
- What this could lead to
- If the sole holds up well, it could offer runners with below-knee amputations a more durable and comfortable option for training and competition.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only three participants, so results may not apply to all users. The sole might show more wear than expected or not fit every prosthetic setup.
