Trial summary

Alignment of the prosthesis with the stump is performed through the socket. Good socket stump fit provides near-normal posture and weight-transfer pattern. It also ensures that the walk is painless and low-energy. Recently, studies have been carried out to use 3D printers in socket production. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Different Measurement-manufacturing Techniques on Stump and Soles Load Distribution in Transtibial Knee Prostheses

Alignment of the prosthesis with the stump is performed through the socket. Good socket stump fit provides near-normal posture and weight-transfer pattern. It also ensures that the walk is painless and low-energy. Recently, studies have been carried out to use 3D printers in socket production. 3D method is accepted as an effective and reliable method in prosthetic socket production. The purpose of this study is to compare the pressures distrubution in the sockets produced by conventional and 3D scanners and printers in the transtibial amputee.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Measurement of load distrubution on stump in conventional manufactured socket

    Load distrubution (mmHg/N/Kg) on stump will be measured with F-socket film sensories during walking.

  2. Measurement of load distrubution on stump in 3D manufactured socket

    Load distrubution (mmHg/N/Kg) on stump will be measured with F-socket sensories during walking.

    Measured: Change from load distrubution (mmHg/N/Kg) on stump will be measured with F-socket film sensories during walking

  3. Measurement of load distrubution on stump in conventional manufactured socket

    Load distrubution (mmHg/N/Kg) on stump will be measured with F-socket film sensories during climbing up and down stairs.

    Measured: Change from load distrubution (mmHg/N/Kg) on stump will be measured with F-socket film sensories during climbing up and down stairs.

  4. Measurement of load distrubution on stump in 3D-manufactured socket

    Load distrubution (mmHg/N/Kg) on stump will be measured with F-socket film sensories during climbing up and down stairs

    Measured: Change from load distrubution (mmHg/N/Kg) on stump will be measured with F-socket film sensories during climbing up and down stairs

  5. Measurement of sole load distrubution (mmHg/N/Kg) in conventional manufactured socket

  7. Measurement of sole load distrubution (mmHg/N/Kg) in conventional manufactured socket

    Sole load distrubution (mmHg/N/Kg) will be measured with F-scan sensories during climbing up and down stairs

    Measured: Change from sole load distrubution (mmHg/N/Kg) will be measured with F-socket film sensories during climbing up and down stairs

  8. Measurement of sole load distrubution (mmHg/N/Kg) in 3D-manufactured socket

    Sole load distrubution (mmHg/N/Kg) will be measured with F-scan sensories during climbing up and down stairs

    Measured: Change from sole load distrubution (mmHg/N/Kg) will be measured with F-socket film sensories during climbing up and down stairs

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measurement of load distrubution on stump in conventional manufactured socket (time frame: Change from load distrubution (mmHg/N/Kg) on stump will be measured with F-socket film sensories during walking). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04326712, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Mar 2020.
