Summary

This study tests new stumble recovery features in prosthetic knees to help people with leg amputations avoid falls. About 50 participants will use devices like the Power Knee or Rheo Knee in lab and real-world settings. Researchers will measure how often the knee detects and responds to stumbles, and how safe and confident users feel.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Prosthetic knee devices with stumble recovery function (e.g., Power Knee, Navii, Rheo Knee)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could lead to smarter prosthetic knees that help users recover from stumbles, reducing fall risk and improving mobility confidence.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage device study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all users. The new function might not work in all real-world situations or could trigger false alarms.
