U.S., Aug. 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07103798) titled 'Effect of a Microprocessor-controlled Prosthetic Knee Joint on K2 Level Ambulators' on July 15.
Brief Summary: Microprocessor-controlled knees (MPKs) automatically adjust resistance or damping in the joint to improve swing- and/or stance-phase control as appropriate for the prosthesis user during gait. The purpose of this proposed investigation is to determine if there are substantial physical and psychological benefits to fitting lower functioning Veteran ambulators having transfemoral amputations with an MPK compared with a nonmicroprocessor-controlled knee (NMPK). Using a repeated-measures, cross-sectional experimental design, app...
