What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study tests whether an advanced balance perturbation training program can help warfighters with lower limb trauma—such as amputations or limb salvage—recover better. Researchers want to see if it increases weight-bearing on the injured limb and reduces stumbles and falls. The study involves 40 active duty service members and veterans enrolled in conventional rehabilitation.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
balance perturbation training program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a better rehabilitation method to reduce falls and improve mobility for people with lower limb trauma.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training may not significantly reduce falls or improve balance.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 40 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Jan 2024

Expected to finish

Sep 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Research participants will be eligible active duty service members and retired veterans. * Having lower limb trauma (transtibial and transfemoral amputations, bilateral amputations, and limb salvage). * Are enrolled in conventional rehabilitation at the participating military treatment centers. * Subjects with dysvascular disease will be excluded because compromised lower limb somatosensation and circulation are independently linked with poor postural stability and a history of frequent falls. * For subjects with amputations, the individual must be a community ambulator (i.e., K-Level 3 or 4). * For subjects with limb salvage, they will need to have an IDEO and be entered into the Return-to-Run training program. Exclusion Criteria: \- Subjects must not have excessive pain or other neuromuscular problems that preclude them from performing the test protocol.
