Development and Usability of an Adjustable Prosthesis for Aquatic Therapy
NCT06259695 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The initial purpose of this study is to develop a prosthesis which is adjustable to use with a variety of patients in aquatic therapy. Aquatic therapy is a beneficial rehabilitation tool for individuals with limb loss. The pool environment offloads body weight, which can improve comfort on a residual limb and increase confidence in activities outside of the pool. The properties of water also assist in strengthening exercises and reducing pain. Currently, most individuals do not have a prosthesis to use in the pool. Water specific prosthesis are often not covered by insurance and can be expensive. For someone that doesn't have a water specific prosthesis, they may not be able to do therapy tasks on two legs, limiting what activities or exercises can be performed. Through creating an adjustable prosthesis, it will allow persons with limb loss to have access to a water specific leg in a time efficient, cost effective, and safe manner for rehabilitation. This study involves a novel prosthesis for use in aquatic therapy. This novel design will have an adjustable circumference, residual limb length, and height, allowing a greater number of patients to use the prosthesis.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06259695
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06259695 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 3 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 Amputation appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Adjustable Aquatic Therapy 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: NCT06259695 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.
