First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a powered, computer-controlled prosthetic knee helps people with above-knee amputations walk more efficiently than their usual prosthesis. Researchers will measure oxygen use during walking on flat and sloped surfaces, along with balance confidence and effort. The study involves 12 adults who already use a prosthetic leg daily.
