Scientists harness phantom limb sensations to improve prosthetic walking
NCT ID NCT07191795
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether the phantom sensations (like tingling or movement) that some people feel in a missing leg can be used to improve walking with a prosthetic. Researchers will test if changing the fit of the prosthetic socket can create or enhance these sensations, and if that leads to smoother, more natural walking. The study involves 228 people with lower-limb amputations and aims to understand how these sensations affect gait.
