Buffalo, New YorkAges 22–80 - NCT07645144Enrolling by invitation
Electrical Stimulation to Improve Walking After Spinal Cord Injury
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation of leg muscles, combined with gait training, can help people with incomplete spinal cord injuries walk better. Electrical stimulation works by sending mild electrical pulses to trigger muscle contractions, potentially improving strength and walking ability.
AmsterdamAges 17–85 - NCT07630311Recruiting
Balance and walking study in multiple sclerosis
This study looks at how multiple sclerosis affects balance, walking patterns, and movement. Researchers will use motion analysis to understand changes, which could help improve treatments.
IoanninaAges 18 years+ - NCT07603947Recruiting
How Head Posture Affects Balance and Walking
This study looks at how forward head posture (when your head leans forward) impacts your balance and the way you walk. Researchers will measure your head position and analyze your walking patterns to understand this connection.
GizaAges 18–35 - NCT05820074Recruiting
Neural signals and walking changes in Parkinson’s patients
This study measures brain and nerve “biomarkers” to understand how Parkinson’s affects walking and balance. It may help researchers identify signs that relate to gait problems, and participants with a specific implanted stimulator may be able to take part in testing with stimulation turned off.
Vitznau, Canton of LucerneAges 18 years+ - NCT04630873RecruitingPhase 1
Botox dilution options for walking in hemiplegic gait
This Phase 1 study tests whether using a lower or higher dilution of Botox injections improves walking in people with hemiplegic gait. The goal is to see which dilution works better (and is safe) for walking and leg stiffness.
IoanninaAges 18 years+ - NCT05908149Recruiting
Gait analysis with a shoe insole splint after stroke
This study checks how a special shoe insole splint affects walking patterns in people recovering from a stroke. It’s looking at gait (walking) measurements to see whether the splint can help safely during physical therapy.
IoanninaAges 18–70 - NCT07589296Recruiting
Robot-Assisted Walking vs. Electrical Stimulation for Parkinson's
This study compares two ways to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their walking: using a robotic device to guide your legs, or electrical stimulation (mild electrical pulses to leg muscles). The goal is to see which approach helps you walk better and more confidently.
Küçükçekmece, IstanbulAges 40–80 - NCT07582367Recruiting
How Foot Arches Affect Walking and Thinking in Older Adults
This study looks at whether the shape of your foot arches—how high or flat your arches are—affects how you walk and your thinking and memory skills. Researchers want to understand if foot structure plays a role in these abilities as we age.
Balıkesir, BigadiçAges 65 years+ - NCT07580612Recruiting
Home-based AI system for detecting freezing of gait in Parkinson's
This study tests an artificial intelligence system that detects freezing of gait—sudden, involuntary pauses while walking—using sensors you wear at home. The goal is to better understand and eventually help manage this common Parkinson's symptom.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT07572968Recruiting
Walking and Balance Tests for Older Adults with Memory Concerns
This study looks at how older adults walk and balance when doing two tasks at once (like talking while walking). Researchers want to understand how mild memory concerns affect movement, which could help catch early brain changes.
