Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Phantom limb control as measured by EMG patterning
Prosthetic embodiment as measured by "Prosthesis Embodiment Scale for Lower Limb Amputees (PEmbS-LLA)"
Prosthetic embodiment as measured by "Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales-Revised (TAPES-R)"
+1 more
Secondary outcome measures
Amplitude of electromyography (EMG) of the agonist and antagonist muscles's activity
Foot plantar load (N)
Frequency of electromyography (EMG) of the agonist and antagonist muscles's activity
+1 more

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is this experiment recruiting participants at the present time?

"Affirmative. According to the information gathered from clinicaltrials.gov, this experiment is currently recruiting individuals for participation. This study was first published on June 1st 2022 and edited most recently on October 31st 2022; it requires 32 patients at one medical facility."

Answered by AI

What is the current participant count for this experiment?

"Affirmative. The data hosted on clinicaltrials.gov notes that the research study, which was initially posted in June 1st 2022, is actively recruiting individuals for participation. 32 people have to be recruited from one site."

Answered by AI

What positive results are anticipated from this research?

"The paramount objective of this clinical investigation, which will span from March 2022 to March 2023, is assessing Prosthetic embodiment through the Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales-Revised (TAPES-R). Secondary outcomes include Foot plantar load (N), Frequency of electromyography (EMG) of both agonist and antagonist muscles's activity, as well as an Index of EMG co-activation between these two muscle groups."
