NCT ID NCT07266454
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tests new stumble recovery features in prosthetic knees to help people with leg amputations avoid falls. About 50 participants will use devices like the Power Knee or Rheo Knee in lab and real-world settings. Researchers will measure how often the knee detects and responds to stumbles, and how safe and confident users feel.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Prosthetic knee devices with stumble recovery function (e.g., Power Knee, Navii, Rheo Knee)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to smarter prosthetic knees that help users recover from stumbles, reducing fall risk and improving mobility confidence.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage device study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all users. The new function might not work in all real-world situations or could trigger false alarms.
