Uneven terrain training aims to boost prosthetic walking skills
NCT ID NCT06419920
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a walking program on uneven surfaces can improve walking skill and confidence for people who use a lower-limb prosthesis. Thirty-five adults with leg amputations will practice walking on flat and uneven treadmills for four weeks. Researchers will measure how many sessions they attend and how their walking speed changes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
locomotor training (walking practice on flat and uneven surfaces)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple, safe walking program that helps people with leg prostheses feel more confident and walk better on different surfaces.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 35 participants. It measures adherence and walking speed, not long-term benefits, so results may not apply widely.
