Tel AvivAges 40–85 - NCT07388992Recruiting
Walking patterns in people with MS
This study uses special sensors to compare walking patterns in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see how MS affects walking over time, which may lead to better ways to track and treat movement problems.
LilleAges 18–65 - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges Any age - NCT02509455Recruiting
Study measures balance during standing and walking
This study checks how your trunk (upper body) sways while standing and walking using a motion sensor. It’s meant to better understand balance control and compare how people move when standing still and in motion.

Rhythmic music to improve walking after spinal cord injury
This study tests whether listening to rhythmic music can help people with spinal cord injury walk more smoothly. You will walk while wearing special headphones that play music timed to your steps.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07676578Recruiting
Virtual reality walking rehab for recent stroke patients
This study tests if using a virtual reality headset during walking exercises can help people who had a stroke within the past 1 to 6 months improve their walking. You might be able to join if you can walk a bit but still need help or practice, and your doctor approves.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT07400198Recruiting
Walking and Bone Health Study for SMA
This study looks at walking and bone health in people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). It helps researchers understand how SMA affects your gait (the way you walk) and your bones, which could lead to better treatments.
New York, New YorkAges 8–50 - NCT07424924Recruiting
Walking, activity, and sleep study for Parkinson's
This study looks at how walking, daily activity, and sleep are connected in Parkinson's disease. It compares people with Parkinson's to healthy volunteers to understand these links better.
IstanbulAges 40–75 - NCT07427563Recruiting
Cerebellar deep brain stimulation for ataxia
This trial tests whether stimulating a part of the brain called the cerebellum with a device can help improve balance and coordination in people with primary ataxia (a movement disorder you were born with or inherited). It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective over one year.
Toronto, OntarioAges 20–70 - NCT07461259Recruiting
Testing a new exoskeleton for walking after spinal cord injury
This trial tests a powered exoskeleton called TWIICE Rise to see if it is safe and possible for people with spinal cord injury to use it for walking. It may help if you have some movement or no movement in your legs but need help standing and walking with crutches.
Nottwil, Canton of LucerneAges 18–70 - NCT07469163RecruitingPhase 1
Walking on a split-belt treadmill after stroke
This study tests different amounts of walking on a special treadmill that moves each leg at a different speed. It may help people recovering from a first stroke to improve their walking.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07478146Recruiting

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.
