In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

A clinical trial utilizing cross-over study design in which individuals with transtibial amputation using either a bone-anchored limb or standard socket prosthesis will perform activities of daily living with varying prosthetic foot stiffness categories to complete the following 4 Specific Aims: 1) Determine the influence of prosthetic foot stiffness on dynamic bone-implant loading, 2) Determine how prosthetic foot stiffness influences function, pain, and multi-joint biomechanics outcomes, 3) Establish how prosthetic foot stiffness influences osseoperception and fall risk, and 4) Establish target ranges of optimal foot stiffness based on the sensitivity biomechanical outcomes to variability in foot stiffness.
