AMPUTATION

This study tests whether a magnetic bead tracking system, used together with a bone-anchored implant and a robotic ankle-foot prosthesis, can give people with below-knee amputation more natural control over their prosthetic limb. Up to 7 participants will receive the implants and…

This study compares three different prosthetic liners designed to reduce sweating in the residual limb of people with a below-knee amputation. The goal is to see if these liners improve how stable, secure, and comfortable the prosthesis feels. About 180 participants who already u…

This study tests a new digital prosthetic liner combined with an exercise program to improve comfort and mobility in people who lost a leg due to type 2 diabetes. About 38 participants will use the smart liner and exercise routine, and researchers will measure pressure on the lim…

This study looks at whether a specific type of exercise (PNF-based upper extremity strengthening plus core training) can improve physical fitness in amputee football players. Fourteen players with a leg amputation will be split into two groups: one gets the special exercises, the…

This study uses smartphone and wearable sensors to track how people with leg amputations use their prostheses at home and in the community. Researchers will analyze this data along with walking tests and interviews to create a toolbox that helps identify who needs more support an…

This study aims to see if using ultrasound imaging to sense muscle activity can improve how people with upper limb amputations control their prosthetic arms. Researchers will compare this new method to standard myoelectric controls in 16 participants. The goal is to make prosthet…

This study looks at how skin temperature changes in people who have a leg amputation and diabetes. Researchers want to understand what affects temperature and blood flow in the remaining leg and the other foot. They will also test if a special shock-absorbing prosthetic leg can h…

This study tests whether a 40-week limb-load biofeedback training program helps people with a leg prosthesis (osseointegrated) walk more symmetrically. About 15 participants will be split into two groups: one gets the training, the other gets standard care. Researchers will measu…

This study aimed to understand what sensations people feel when their spinal cord is electrically stimulated. It planned to recruit adults with spinal cord stimulators for pain management. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants.

This study aimed to help people with upper limb amputations feel their prosthetic hand as part of their own body by using nerve stimulation to recreate touch and position sense. Researchers planned to test different prosthetic types and measure how much users felt the device belo…

This study reviews the medical records of 20 adults who had a limb amputated to treat severe, long-lasting pain from complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after other treatments failed. Researchers want to learn how long it takes patients to get fitted with a functional artificia…
