Can a device improve walking after a stroke?
This trial tests a device called SURA that stimulates feeling in the ankle after a stroke. It may help people who have foot drop or trouble lifting their foot while walking.
Barcelona, Vilafranca Del PenedésAges 18–85 - NCT06407830Recruiting
Walking therapy with and without muscle stimulation for stroke recovery
This study tests whether adding electrical muscle stimulation to a walking and movement program helps stroke survivors walk better, become more independent, and improve their quality of life.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 45–65 - NCT06411197Recruiting
Walking and muscle pain in healthy adults
This study looks at how people walk and how muscles in the legs may feel sore. It is for healthy adults to understand normal movement patterns.
Aalborg, North DenmarkAges 18–45 - NCT06433648Recruiting
Powered knee study for above-knee amputee walkers
This study looks at how a powered (motorized) prosthetic knee joint affects walking in people with one above-knee amputation. It aims to find out if the powered knee makes walking easier or more natural.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–95 - NCT06473987Recruiting
Virtual reality training for better walking after brain injury
This trial tests a virtual reality program that combines thinking and walking exercises to help improve your balance and walking speed. It may be a good fit if you have a traumatic brain injury and walk more slowly than usual.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–65 - NCT06562569Recruiting
Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation for Parkinson's gait issues
This study tests a non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation device to see if it can improve walking and reduce freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's disease. It is done at VA hospitals and involves wearing a device on the neck during walking tasks.
Hines, IllinoisAges 50–88 - NCT06505460Recruiting
Brain stimulation for Parkinson's freezing of gait
This study is testing if two brain-stimulation treatments—deep brain stimulation (DBS) or focused ultrasound—can help reduce freezing of gait (a common, frustrating symptom where your feet feel stuck when walking) in people with Parkinson's. Researchers will use brain scans and electrical recordings to understand how these treatments work.
TaichungAges 20–90 - NCT06506058Recruiting
Study on balance and brain in Parkinson's freezing of gait
This study looks at how the balance system and brain work together to cause freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease. By understanding these factors, researchers hope to find better ways to help people walk more steadily.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21–80 - NCT06516458Recruiting
Camera-based gait study for people with MS
This study uses a camera to measure how you walk, called gait quality, to better understand movement in multiple sclerosis. It may help develop a simple way to track walking changes over time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–75 - NCT06519279Recruiting
Freezing of gait study for Parkinson's patients
This study looks at how Parkinson's disease affects freezing of gait (a sudden feeling of being stuck while walking). It may help researchers better understand this symptom and improve future treatments. You may be able to join if you can walk 10 meters without help and don't have a deep brain stimulator.
Tel AvivAges 18 years+ - NCT06536088Recruiting
Walk test for hip impingement patients
This study looks at how hip impingement affects walking. It may help doctors understand the link between symptoms and walking patterns before surgery.
AnkaraAges 18–75 - NCT06538974Recruiting
Long-term use of an exoskeleton for leg weakness
This trial tests a walking device called an exoskeleton to help people with leg weakness or movement problems. It's designed to see if using the exoskeleton regularly over time can help improve walking or mobility.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06588920Recruiting
Brain activity, thinking, and walking study for Parkinson's
This study looks at how brain activity relates to thinking and walking in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help understand the connections between these functions.
TaipeiAges 40–80 - NCT06593184Recruiting
Magnetic stimulation for mobility after stroke
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called trans-spinal magnetic stimulation to help improve walking and movement in people who have had a stroke. It is for those with trouble walking and are at least 6 months past their stroke.
João Pessoa, ParaíbaAges 18–75 - NCT06602544Recruiting
Robotic suit to prevent freezing in Parkinson's
This study tests a robotic suit designed to help prevent freezing of gait (a sudden feeling of being stuck) in people with Parkinson's disease. You'll attend 8 visits to see if the suit can improve your walking and reduce falls.
Allston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT06611618Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gait?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 337 recruiting gait studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a gait trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a gait trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
