Summary

This study tests whether a powered prosthetic ankle that is controlled by the user's own muscle signals can improve balance and stability in people with below-knee amputations. Fifty adults who have had an amputation for at least two years will train with the device and be compared to a group using their regular prosthetic. The goal is to see if this technology leads to better postural control, more natural movement, and less mental effort when walking or standing.
