Can a special rehab program help more amputees walk again?
NCT ID NCT07665775
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a hospital rehab and prosthetic training program helps people who lost a leg due to diabetes or blood vessel disease use their artificial limb regularly. Researchers will review past patient records and follow new patients for up to 6 months after they leave the hospital. The goal is to see how many people use their prosthetic at least 8 hours a day and score well on a mobility test.
