What this trial studies
Adults with above-knee amputations will receive gait training augmented by an artificial intelligence tool that provides real‑time feedback and personalized adjustments to walking patterns. The intervention is delivered at the Faculty of Physical Therapy in Banha and excludes people with other neurological disorders or joint range-of-motion complications. Study measures will focus on gait quality, symmetry, and functional mobility collected before and after the AI-augmented training. The approach uses AI-driven coaching during therapy sessions to tailor gait retraining to each participant's needs.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: People with above-knee amputations who do not have other neurological conditions or joint range-of-motion limitations and who can attend sessions at the Banha Faculty of Physical Therapy are ideal candidates.
Not a fit: Patients with any neurological conditions affecting gait or muscle balance or with joint ROM complications are excluded and unlikely to benefit from this specific intervention.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could help people with above-knee amputations walk more efficiently and safely, improving mobility and independence.
How similar studies have performed: AI-guided gait rehabilitation has produced promising results in other populations such as stroke and lower-limb prosthesis users, but its specific application to above-knee amputees is relatively new.
