Using AI to Improve Walking After Above-Knee Amputation

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

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.
