NCT ID NCT03930199

Summary

This study aims to create a toolkit to help clinicians better understand and improve how people with leg amputations use their prosthetic limbs in daily life. Researchers will use data from smartphone apps, wearable sensors, and interviews with 66 participants to identify factors that limit prosthesis use. The goal is to develop better ways to match people with the right support and interventions to help them move more confidently in their communities.
