This study tests whether 3D-printed resin crowns and bridges work as well as traditional milled zirconia ones for people with dental implants. Sixty adults who need one or two implant-supported restorations in the lower front jaw will receive either a 3D-printed resin or a zircon…

This study tests whether starting a special exercise program soon after reverse shoulder replacement surgery helps patients recover better. Forty adults who have had this surgery will be randomly assigned to either the early physiotherapy program or standard care. Researchers wil…

This study looks at whether a prosthetic knee with a built-in computer (microprocessor-controlled) can help people with above-knee amputations have fewer fall-related problems, walk faster, and feel better overall. About 100 adults who already use a basic prosthetic knee will eit…

This study tests a new prosthetic foot called the Caesar foot in real-world settings. About 18 adults with below-knee amputations who want to run will use the foot at home for two months. Researchers will check if it improves mobility and daily activity compared to their usual fo…

This study aims to understand the psychological and social factors that influence how well people accept and use an upper limb prosthesis after amputation. Researchers will interview and survey over 170 adults with unilateral arm amputations to build a model that predicts outcome…

This study aims to understand how our sense of touch works by recording nerve signals in healthy volunteers as they touch different surfaces, temperatures, and textures. Researchers will also test how emotions and age affect touch. The goal is to use this knowledge to create pros…

This study follows 70 people who have lost a lower limb due to diabetes or vascular disease. It looks at how they adjust physically and emotionally over time. Some participants will receive a standard rehab program, while others will also use technology-based exercises. The goal …

This study aims to find the best way to place sensors on a prosthetic socket to improve how well people with below-elbow amputations can control their powered arm. Researchers will compare different numbers of sensors (4, 8, or up to 16) and whether targeting specific muscles hel…

This study tests whether powered prosthetic knees help people with above-knee amputations walk more and feel more confident than standard non-powered knees. Twenty-six adults who already use a mechanical knee will try both types at home for three months each. Researchers will tra…
