What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether adding dual-task training—exercises that combine physical movement with mental challenges like counting or naming categories—to standard physiotherapy can improve balance and reduce fall risk in people with a single leg amputation who use a prosthesis. Forty adults aged 18 to 60 will be randomly assigned to either dual-task training plus conventional therapy or conventional therapy alone for 8 weeks. Balance and fall risk are measured before and after the program using specialized equipment and clinical tests.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
dual-task training combining motor and cognitive exercises with conventional physiotherapy
What this could lead to
If effective, this training approach could become a standard part of rehabilitation to help amputees walk more safely and reduce falls.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all amputees. The training is time-intensive and may not suit everyone.
