What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study aims to find out if wearable devices can reliably measure how stable a person is while walking after losing a lower limb. Researchers will test 20 veterans with one leg amputated below the knee, using both simple wearable sensors and advanced motion capture. The goal is to give healthcare teams an easy, affordable way to track stability and improve mobility and quality of life.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could give clinicians a simple, wearable-based tool to measure stability, helping improve rehabilitation and mobility for people with limb loss.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It focuses on measurement, not treatment, so direct health benefits are not guaranteed.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 20 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Apr 2025

Expected to finish

Dec 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

A government agency

The lead sponsor is a US federal agency other than the NIH.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * any individual with unilateral transtibial limb loss * a well-fitting prosthesis (as determined by a board-certified prosthetist through standardized prosthetic guidelines) for a minimum of one month * able to achieve a "Level 6 - Modified Independence" score on the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) for 2 mobility items (locomotion and transfers) Exclusion Criteria: * Individuals with active wounds/ulcers or significant musculoskeletal comorbidities on their intact limb that would impair ability to participate in biomechanical evaluations * any comorbidity that results in rapid limb volume changes (i.e., end stage renal disease with dialysis) * a poorly fitting socket * cognitive deficit(s) or mental pathology (e.g., dementia, amnesia) that would prevent the participant from understanding and following directions and limit the participant's ability to participate fully in the study * women who are pregnant or who plan to become pregnant during their participation in study activities * FIM scores less than Level 6 for locomotion and transfers
