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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study aims to understand how people with a lower limb amputation move around in their community, including both walking with a prosthetic and using a wheelchair or scooter. Researchers will give 50 participants a GPS tracker and an activity monitor to wear for 10-21 days to measure their movement patterns. They will also complete questionnaires about their quality of life, mobility, and balance confidence. The goal is to capture a complete picture of community mobility, which has been overlooked in past research that focused only on walking.

Participants

About 50 people

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

Started

Expected to finish

Aug 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Other sponsor

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