Leg amputees sought for study into prosthetics

Leg amputees are being sought for a university study to improve prosthetics.

The project will use software that can check the distribution of force during everyday activity on prosthetics fitted under the knee.

Participants will have one hour of testing, during which they will walk 10 metres at normal speed over the course of the session.

Giulia Zedda, a PHD student at the University of Dundee, said it could lead to adjustments that will improve the overall comfort of patients.
