Smart knee study: does a powered prosthetic make walking easier?
NCT ID NCT05831696
Summary
This study aims to see if a new powered prosthetic knee helps people with above-knee limb loss walk with less effort and better balance compared to their usual passive knee. Researchers will measure energy use and exertion while participants walk on a treadmill on flat and sloped surfaces. The goal is to understand if this technology can make daily walking less tiring.
