What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether smartphone and wearable sensors can help create personalized mobility plans for people who use lower-limb prostheses. Researchers will analyze sensor data along with walking tests and interviews to identify physical or psychological barriers to using the prosthesis. The goal is to improve real-world mobility and daily activities through targeted interventions like physical therapy or prosthetic adjustments.

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 lead to a clinical toolbox that helps clinicians tailor prosthetic care and physical therapy to each person's needs, improving mobility and daily function.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 66 participants, so results may not apply to all prosthesis users. The interventions are based on individual needs, making it hard to generalize findings.

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

66 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

May 2020

Expected to finish

Dec 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

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

Ages

18 to 89 years

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: * Unilateral or bilateral lower limb amputation at transtibial or transfemoral level * Ability to wear and use a prosthesis * Designated K-level 2 - 4, or equivalent * Prescription of definitive prosthesis * Veterans Affairs participants must receive care through the Veterans Affairs or related remote-site clinic * Age: 18-89 years-to reflect the age range of eligible participants at Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs study sites, including young, combat-injured Service Members and healthy older Veterans, aged 70-80. Exclusion Criteria: * Co-morbidities that limit prosthesis use, independently of prosthetic function, training, or motivation, such as stroke, obesity, severe traumatic brain injury, and neuralgia, which require interventions outside the scope of this study. Suitability to participate in the study will be determined by the individual's physician. * Unable or unwilling to learn to use the smartphone app or to allow transmission of study data * Unable or unwilling to provide informed consent * Residing in an area with poor cell phone coverage
