Study Summary

This trial is testing if a new balance training program can help people with limb injuries walk better by improving how much weight they put on the affected limb.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for active duty service members and retired veterans who are community ambulators with lower limb trauma, including certain amputations or limb salvage. They must be enrolled in conventional rehab at military centers and not have excessive pain or neuromuscular issues that would prevent participation.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests an advanced balance training program aimed at improving weight-bearing on injured limbs to reduce stumbles and falls. Participants will undergo assessments like the Promis Physical Function Questionnaire and various walking tests to measure progress.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves physical rehabilitation exercises rather than medication, side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, or discomfort from the exertion of the therapy sessions.
