Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 14–65 - NCT07037849Recruiting
Robot suit for leg rehab after stroke
This study is testing whether a wearable robotic leg device can help stroke survivors improve their walking and leg function during rehabilitation. If you have had a stroke and can already stand and walk a little, this robot suit may help you regain more strength and mobility.
Shenzhen, GuangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT07040215Recruiting
Robot-assisted walking training after stroke
This study tests whether a robot-assisted walking training program can help people who recently had a stroke improve their walking ability. It is for people in the early recovery phase (1 to 3 months after stroke) who already have moderate balance.
Changhua, TaiwanAges 45–70 - NCT07034105Recruiting
Walking patterns in healthy people and stroke survivors
This study compares how people walk on different surfaces and with body weight support. It aims to understand walking differences between healthy individuals and stroke survivors, which could help design better rehab programs.
DhakaAges 18–75 - NCT06870045Recruiting
Walking ability test in children with JIA
This study looks at how well children with JIA (arthritis in one knee) can walk and balance, using a simple test called the Dynamic Gait Index. It aims to find a better way to measure walking problems in kids with JIA.
Istanbul, TurkeyAges 8–16 - NCT06430164Recruiting
Brain and walking study for healthy adults
This study looks at how the brain controls walking in healthy people. You will walk on a treadmill while we measure your brain activity and leg muscles. It helps us understand normal walking so we can better help people with walking problems.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–65 - NCT06746415Recruiting
Robot-assisted walking training for chronic stroke
This study tests whether robot-assisted walking training helps people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It aims to improve walking ability and leg movement for those still having some walking difficulty.
Istanbul, ZeytinburnuAges 40–75 - NCT06591780Recruiting
Biofeedback to improve walking for diabetic nerve damage
This study tests a special biofeedback system to help people with diabetic nerve damage walk better. You'll use sensors during treadmill walking to see if real-time feedback can improve your stride and balance.
Pensacola, FloridaAges 45–90 - NCT06430632Recruiting
Early robotic walking training after stroke
This trial tests whether early, robot-assisted walking training can help people recovering from a stroke improve their ability to walk. It uses a wearable robotic exoskeleton to support your body and guide your legs during practice.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–85 - NCT05751408Recruiting
Testing wearable sensors for gait analysis during walking rehab
This study checks how well commercially available wearable sensors (IMUs) can measure walking problems during a clinic gait analysis. It may help your care team get more accurate information about your walking patterns, falls risk, and fatigue during walking.
EnschedeAges 18 years+ - NCT04164641Recruiting
Test software-guided walking analysis to help prevent foot ulcers
This study checks whether a computer system that analyzes your walking can help change gait (how you walk) to reduce the chance of diabetic foot ulcers coming back or leading to amputation. It is meant for adults who have had a healed diabetic foot ulcer before.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT05167786Recruiting
Electrical spinal cord stimulation for walking after stroke
This trial studies whether a non-surgical electrical treatment to the spinal area can improve walking and leg control after a stroke. It’s for people who have had a single stroke and still need hands-on support to walk.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04876339Recruiting
Sound-based training to improve walking after brain illness
This study tests whether using special sounds (sonification) during gait training can improve walking for people with stroke, Parkinson’s disease, or multiple sclerosis. It may help your walking speed, stamina (fatigue), and overall walking pattern.
PaviaAges Up to 80 years - NCT03995238Recruiting
Gait training for veterans with leg amputations
This study tests a walking rehabilitation plan to improve how you walk after a lower-leg amputation. It may help if your walking steps are uneven and you have diabetes and/or circulation problems in your legs.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 40–89 - NCT07857967Recruiting
Stiff-knee walking after stroke compared with healthy walking
This study measures how thigh muscles and knee movements differ when people who had a stroke walk, compared with people without a stroke. It may help design better treatments for stiff-knee walking.
Luxembourg, LuxembourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06316232RecruitingPhase 4
DBS and Levodopa for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's
This trial tests whether increasing the dose of levodopa or adjusting deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help reduce freezing of gait in people with Parkinson's who already have good control of other symptoms. It aims to find the best way to manage this common and frustrating problem.
BolognaAges 18–80 - NCT06345625Recruiting
Balance and walking with head movement in older adults
This study looks at how older adults keep their balance and walk when their head is moving. You may be asked to stand or walk while your head gently moves, so researchers can understand how your body reacts.
AntwerpAges 65–100 - NCT07798388Recruiting
Optimizing walking rehabilitation after stroke
This study tests a new way to improve walking after a stroke. It focuses on helping people who have some arm weakness but can still walk on their own.
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18 years+ - NCT06543888Recruiting
Exoskeleton training for walking and daily tasks in older adults
This study tests whether a passive lower-limb exoskeleton can help older adults walk better and do daily activities more easily. You will wear the device during training sessions to see if it improves your movement and independence.
Taoyuan, GuishanAges 60 years+ - NCT07750808Recruiting
Walking rehabilitation with a robotic exoskeleton
This study tests a wearable robotic leg brace that helps people with leg weakness practice walking. It aims to see if using the robot improves strength and movement for people recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, or joint replacement surgery.
DhakaAges 18–60 - NCT07745712Recruiting
Testing a robotic exoskeleton for children with walking difficulties

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gait?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 335 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.
