AI steps in to improve gait for Above-Knee amputees
NCT ID NCT07265154
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether artificial intelligence can improve gait training for people who have had an above-knee amputation. Forty participants will use AI-guided training to improve their balance and walking stability. The goal is to see if this technology leads to better outcomes than standard training alone.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Artificial intelligence software used with gait training
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a more effective way to improve balance and walking stability for people with above-knee amputations.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The AI approach may not prove better than standard training.
