First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new, non-invasive device that attaches to the outside of a prosthetic leg socket to measure how well it fits. Poor socket fit can cause pain, skin problems, and reduced mobility. The device tracks movement and accuracy as users perform a simple task, aiming to provide objective fit data. The pilot study will enroll 18 adults with above-knee amputations to see if the device is reliable and valid.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Prosthetic socket fit testing system

What this could lead to

If successful, this device could provide a quick, non-invasive way to check prosthetic socket fit, helping prosthetists make adjustments that reduce pain and improve mobility.

What could go wrong

This is a very small pilot study with only 18 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is still a prototype and may not prove accurate or practical in real-world use.
