U.S., Dec. 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07266077) titled 'Influence Of A Slope Adaptive Foot On Participation Of Veterans With Lower-Limb Amputations' on Nov. 20.

This limitation results in reduced mobility, reduced balance confidence, and a higher risk of falls among some individuals who use below-knee prostheses, which have been shown to negatively impact participation in daily and recreational activities.
