NCT ID NCT05780502
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a custom energy-storing leg brace, combined with a high-intensity rehabilitation program, can improve walking, stair climbing, and daily function in people with lower leg injuries. About 370 adults who have been fitted with the brace will be followed before, during, and after the program. The goal is to see if this approach helps them move better and feel more capable in everyday life.
