New treatment option for Amputation, Lower Limb
Official title Reliability and Validity of Continuous Inter-limb Stability
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06987019
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- To date, there is no valid and reliable measure of continuous inter-limb stability available to healthcare teams treating people with lower limb loss. Determining these characteristics of this parameter for this population is important because superior stability has been linked to increased physical activity and strength in similar populations, making it a potential vital contributor to mobility improvement of Veterans with limb loss.
