Summary

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 foot.

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 18 people

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

Expected to start

Oct 2025

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Aug 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

A company

The lead sponsor is a pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical-device company.

Who can take part

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

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

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

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Have transtibial limb absence of one or both limbs * Express interest in running, but do not currently have a running blade (as determined by self-report) * Are at least 18 years of age * Are at least six months post amputation * Are classified as K3 or K4 ambulator status as determined by a certified prosthetist * Have an AMP score of at least 37 * Are capable of running safely as determined by a certified prosthetist's clinical judgement * Have a well-fitting socket as determined by a certified prosthetist * Have adequate clearance between distal end of the residual limb and ground for the Caesar foot * Meets the foot size and weight class of one of the available Caesar prototypes Exclusion Criteria: * Present or sustained injuries to residual limb or contralateral leg affecting functional ability * Non-English speaking participants will be excluded from this study due to limited access to interpreter services. These services would be needed for several visits, including training to learn how to use the device safely, along with requested verbal feedback from the participant to evaluate the design and usability of the system. * Using a prosthetic foot that an individual is unfamiliar with for higher activity tasks may increase the risk of falling. Therefore, pregnant women should not participate in the study and will be screened by self-disclosure. Individuals can be excluded at the discretion of the investigator for other unforeseen disqualifying criteria (such as specific cognitive issues, etc.).
