Detecting Change in Muscle Parameters, Pain, and Function With NMES for TTA
NCT06830876
This study is recruiting at 1 US site in 1 state, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
The proposal aims to investigate a non-invasive, cost-effective method for rebuilding muscle mass in individuals with transtibial limb loss. Maintaining a healthy, pain-free residual limb is a primary concern for prosthesis users. Amputees commonly experience muscle deficits leading to mobility issues, poor prosthetic fit, and chronic pain. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a potential intervention that activates muscles with low-level electrical stimulation, improving strength, function, and reducing pain.
