Objective

The objective of this research is to determine the clinical benefits of an innovative and lightweight powered leg controlled using our intent recognition framework in laboratory and community environments.


Participants in this study will visit the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab 1-2 times per month for socket fitting, evaluation and training with the powered lower limb prosthesis.


Participants will be fit with a robotic prosthesis, walk on various surfaces and wear sensors that monitor muscle activity.

Who Can Participate

Participants must meet the following criteria:

  • Age 18 years old or older
  • Individuals with a transfemoral (above-the-knee) amputation of one or both legs
  • Able to ambulate with a prosthesis
  • English Speaking

Compensation

Participants will receive compensation for each visit.

Age Range

Brain-Based and Clinical Phenotyping of Pain Pharmacotherapy in Knee Osteoarthritis (PREDICT)

This is a clinical trial of people who have pain due to knee osteoarthritis at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in collaboration with Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. The study will last for about 20 weeks. 180 qualified participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio (60 participants per group) to one of three treatment groups: duloxetine, celecoxib or placebo. Participants will have an X-ray, knee MRI, brain MRI, blood draws, pain sensitivity testing and will be asked to fill out questionnaires. The purpose of this study is to predict which participants will respond to the treatment.
