This study is looking for Veterans aged 40 to 89 who have had a non-traumatic lower limb amputation (amputation not caused by an injury) and experience uneven walking. You may also have diabetes or peripheral artery disease (a condition affecting blood circulation). The study is testing two different training programs: "Error-augmentation gait training" and "Error-correction gait training." Both programs use treadmill exercises to help improve how evenly you walk. There's also a supervised walking group that doesn't focus on correcting uneven steps. The main goal is to see if these training programs can make your steps more symmetrical (even) right after the training and 12 weeks later. The study aims to enroll 54 participants.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 54 participants. It compares two different gait training programs against a supervised walking program.

What's involved

You would participate in 8 training sessions over 4 weeks for one of the gait training programs or the supervised walking program.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your step length symmetry will be measured at the end of the intervention and again 12 weeks after the intervention ends.
