Investigation of Motorized Lower-limb Prostheses

2026년 5월 7일 업데이트: Northern Arizona University

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a motorized prosthesis can improve mobility in individuals with amputation. The main question it aims to answer is:

  • Does motorized prosthesis improve ambulation speed, balance, control, or efficiency when performing everyday activities?
  • What problems arise when using a motorized prosthesis? Researchers will compare mobility of the participants when using and not using the motorized prosthesis to see if mobility and/or function improves.

Participants will perform various activities with and without the motorized prosthesis including:

  • Walking at a mild incline/decline (0°-15°) on treadmill or over-ground
  • Ascending or descending stairs
  • Stand to sit and sit to stand transitions
  • All terrain walking over ground
  • Turning
  • Any combination of the above-mentioned activities

상세 설명

Participants will perform ambulation activities (see list below) while using their prescribed prosthesis or the motorized prosthesis in conjunction with their prescribed passive prosthesis. Each ambulation activity will be tested in four different conditions:

  1. Ambulation with their personal (take home) device. This condition acts as a baseline to which the ambulation with the motorized prosthesis can be compared.
  2. Ambulation with the motorized prosthesis in the "off" configuration (i.e., no power is applied to the motor). This condition demonstrates the impact of the device when it is unpowered.
  3. Ambulation with the motorized prosthesis in the "transparent" configuration (i.e., minimal power is applied to the motor, such that the device behaves as a free hinge). This condition demonstrates the impact of the device when it behaves as a free hinge, similar to the participants personal device.
  4. Ambulation with the motorized prosthesis in the "powered" configuration (i.e., substantial electrical power is applied to the motor to replicate the function of the biological joint). This condition assesses the impact of the motorized prosthesis to improve ambulation of the participant.

Trials will take place over-ground and/or on a treadmill. Participants will walk for up to 40 minutes. Frequent breaks will be provided between trials and conditions to avoid fatigue and a maximum of 15 minutes of continuous walking will take place between breaks. When deemed necessary by the research staff or participant, crutches, canes, walkers, an overhead support system, or other ambulation or safety aid will be used to minimize the risk of a severe fall.

List of ambulation activities

  1. Walking at a mild incline/decline (0°-15°) on treadmill or over-ground
  2. Ascending or descending stairs
  3. Stand to sit and sit to stand transitions
  4. All terrain walking over ground
  5. Turning
  6. Any combination of the above-mentioned activities

The above conditions will be assessed using motion capture techniques in the laboratory environment which will include measures of metabolic energy consumption and muscle activity.

All terrain walking over ground will take place on campus and include Engineering, Business, and Learning resource Center buildings, the north and south quads, and campus walkways and urban trails. During all terrain walking, the participant will be attended by research personnel that will monitor subject safety.
