Impact of Powered Knee-Ankle Prosthesis Leg on Everyday Community Mobility and Social Interaction
NCT03204513 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The overall goal of this research is to determine the efficacy of new powered prosthetic devices for individuals with transfemoral amputations. The anticipation is that this will be a high-impact technological intervention with the potential to restore significant functionality to individuals with lower limb amputation and transform the field of lower limb prosthetics. The objective of the proposed clinical trial is to fully evaluate the biomechanical and energetic effects of using PKA prosthesis and quantify functional performance and quality of life changes.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03204513
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03204513 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 15 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, which has 274 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Transfemoral Amputees appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Vanderbilt Powered Knee-Ankle Prosthesis is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03204513 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Illinois. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
