PROSTHESIS USER

This study aims to find out if newer, battery-powered prosthetic knees help people with above-knee amputations walk more and feel more confident than the standard mechanical knees they currently use. Researchers will have 26 participants try three different knee models at home fo…

This study is testing whether prosthetic knees with built-in computers can help reduce falls and improve mobility for people who use above-knee artificial legs. Researchers will compare 100 adults who receive either a standard prosthetic knee or a computer-controlled 'smart' knee…

This study aims to help people adjust after a leg amputation, often caused by diabetes. It will compare standard rehabilitation to a program that adds technology like virtual reality. Researchers want to see which approach better improves daily function, reduces pain and fall ris…

This study is testing a new prosthetic foot called the 'Caesar foot' to see if it helps people with below-knee amputations move better in their daily lives, especially for running. Participants will try the new foot at home for two months, comparing it to their usual foot. The go…

This research aims to understand the basic science of how humans feel touch. By studying healthy volunteers and some amputees, researchers will measure nerve signals in response to different textures and temperatures. The goal is to use this knowledge to build prosthetic limbs th…

This study aims to find the best way to set up muscle sensors so that prosthetic arms respond more naturally to a user's intentions. Researchers are testing different numbers of sensors and sensor placements on 32 adults who have a below-elbow limb difference. Participants will t…

This study aims to understand how well people who use robotic prosthetic arms can imagine moving their missing limb, and if this mental skill affects how well they can use their prosthesis. Researchers will compare 30 people with below-elbow amputations who use a myoelectric (mus…
