First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tests whether a magnetic bead tracking system, used together with a bone-anchored implant and a robotic ankle-foot prosthesis, can give people with below-knee amputation more natural control over their prosthetic limb. Up to 7 participants will receive the implants and be followed for about 24 months. The goal is to see if the system works safely and allows users to control the bionic leg using their own muscle signals.
