Understanding Movement with Assistive Devices

This study aims to understand how people move using different assistive devices, like prosthetics (artificial limbs) and orthotics (braces), and how they interact with these technologies. Researchers will look at how people with limb weakness, limb paralysis, limb loss, or movement disorders use devices such as the investigational Assist-Knee, or commercially available prosthetic knees, ankles, feet, and ankle-foot orthoses. The main goal is to measure walking speed both without an intervention and immediately after using an intervention. This research will help improve assistive technologies. You may be able to join if you are between 18 and 90 years old and can perform various movement activities.

Study design
This is an interventional study planning to enroll 100 participants. The study will compare walking speed with and without different assistive devices.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Walking speed will be measured at the start of the study and immediately after using an intervention.
