NCT ID NCT06987019
First seen Apr 23, 2026
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.
