Summary

This study looks at whether phantom limb sensations (feelings like tingling or movement in the missing leg) can be used to help people with leg amputations walk more naturally. Researchers will test if changing the fit of the prosthetic socket can create or enhance these sensations and improve walking quality. The study involves 228 participants and aims to understand how these sensations affect gait.
