Clinical Trial: Uses of Phantom Sensations Induced by Global and Local Modifications of the Prosthetic Socket as Somatosensory Feedback During Walking in Lower Limb Amputees

U.S., Sept. 26 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07191795) titled 'Uses of Phantom Sensations Induced by Global and Local Modifications of the Prosthetic Socket as Somatosensory Feedback During Walking in Lower Limb Amputees' on Aug. 21.

Brief Summary: Following lower-limb amputation, the loss of somatosensory information from the missing limb renders walking less automatic, more cognitively demanding, and often asymmetric, which can lead to secondary pathologies.

Hypothesis: This study is based on the hypothesis that phantom limb sensations (PLS), when coherent with the prosthetic device's movements and the phases of the gait cycle, can compensate for the loss of somatosensory feedback and there...
