ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how and why patients with lower limb amputations use wheelchairs. The researchers want to learn more about the different types of wheelchairs that might be needed and the reasons why some people choose to use a wheelchair while others do not. By understanding these factors, the goal is to improve support and resources for amputees.

To participate in this study, you should be between 18 and 65 years old, have had an amputation above the ankle for at least six months, and can be either a single or double amputee. If you join the trial, you can expect to share your experiences with wheelchair use, which will help the researchers gather valuable information that can lead to better wheelchair options and guidelines for amputees in the future. There are no specific exclusions for this study, making it open to a wide range of participants.
