First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study will test whether a microprocessor-controlled knee (MPK) helps veterans with a leg amputation walk better and feel more confident compared to a standard mechanical knee. About 20 veterans will try the smart knee for two months and then report their walking speed, falls, and mobility. The goal is to see if this advanced technology benefits lower-functioning amputees.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
College Park ICON microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that advanced prosthetic knees help lower-functioning amputees walk better and feel more confident.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study (20 veterans) with no blinding, so results may not apply to everyone. The improvement may be small or not meaningful.
As listed by the trial registrant
The condition terms exactly as the trial's registrant entered them.
