Somatosensation Device Trial

NCT06168396 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This research is being done to test a new device, called the Somatosensation Device, with people who have either a below knee amputation, or neuropathy (i.e. decreased sensation) in their legs. When people have lost sensation in their feet, it may make walking and balance more difficult. The Somatosensation Device is designed to substitute the loss of feeling in a foot by pressing on nerves on the surface of the leg. It presses on the nerves by using a pneumatic balloon to put pressure on your skin. If people receive this extra sensation feedback, it may help improve their walking and balance.
