Scientists harness phantom limb sensations to improve prosthetic walking

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.
