Scientists test 'Smart' sockets to give amputees better control while walking

NCT ID NCT07191795

Summary

This study is testing whether specially modified prosthetic sockets can create helpful 'phantom' sensations in the missing limb to make walking easier and more natural for people with lower limb amputations. Researchers will work with 228 participants to see if these sensations improve walking speed, balance, and comfort. The goal is to understand if changing how the socket feels can reduce the mental effort and physical strain of walking with a prosthesis.
