TRANSFEMORAL AMPUTATION

This study compares a new adjustable prosthetic socket to a standard one in 40 veterans with below- or above-knee amputations. The goal is to see if the adjustable socket improves walking, comfort, and satisfaction. Participants will try both sockets so researchers can find which…

This study tests whether a powered, computer-controlled prosthetic knee helps people with above-knee amputations use less energy while walking on flat and sloped surfaces compared to their usual prosthesis. Researchers will measure oxygen use, balance confidence, and perceived ef…

This study tests a smart prosthetic leg that uses muscle signals from the user's thigh to control the knee and ankle. Ten adults with above-knee amputations will try the bionic leg on flat ground, stairs, and other real-world tasks. Researchers will measure how well users control…

This study is testing whether a powered prosthetic knee (the Össur Power Knee) helps people with above-knee amputations walk better and use less energy compared to a standard passive knee. Twenty adults aged 45-75 who have used a prosthesis for at least a year will be asked to wa…

This study tests whether an AI system (called RISE) can help doctors and prosthetists personalize a robotic prosthetic leg more quickly and effectively than current manual methods. About 24 adults with above-knee amputations will walk on different terrains while their prosthetic …
