Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Amputee football players with a lower-limb amputation who actively participate in amputee football and can follow study instructions.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals unable to participate safely in exercise or complete assessments, or those with recent acute injuries or medical conditions restricting participation, may not benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This interventional study will add cognitive game activities to a structured exercise program to simultaneously challenge cognitive and motor functions in amputee football players. Participants will undergo baseline cognitive and physical performance tests, complete the intervention, and then repeat the assessments to see any changes. The goal is to determine whether integrating cognitive and motor training can enhance sport-specific performance and overall rehabilitation outcomes for amputee athletes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, players may experience improved cognitive-motor coordination and physical performance relevant to amputee football.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research in cognitive-motor training shows promise for enhancing performance in sports, though this exact cognitive game-based approach in amputee football is novel.
