Bio Leg: Advancing Mobility (BAM)
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Amputation of Lower Limb Above Knee, Amputee, Amputation
In brief
Following transfemoral amputation, regaining functional mobility, particularly the ability to navigate curbs, ramps, long distances, and the ability to stand is challenging and often unattainable. Use of advanced prosthetic limb technology can dramatically influence mobility outcomes. The purpose of this study is to compare walking function in individuals with transfemoral amputations who are current users of the C-leg (micro-processor controlled prosthetic knee; current clinical standard) to function achieved when using the Bio Leg powered micro-processor prosthetic knee.
