Schaffhausen, Canton of SchaffhausenAges 65 years+ - NCT07323602Recruiting
Predicting DBS outcomes in dystonia with wearable sensors
This trial uses wearable sensors to measure how you walk before and after Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery for dystonia. The goal is to see if these sensors can help predict how well DBS will work for you.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT07289191Recruiting
Spinal current stimulation for walking after spinal cord injury
This trial tests whether a new type of electrical stimulation on the back can help improve walking in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. It uses a device that sends small currents through the skin to the spinal cord.
Badalona, BarcelonaAges 18–75 - NCT06157749Recruiting
Walking assessment via a phone app
This trial uses a telephone app to check how healthy young adults walk. It may help researchers develop a simple tool to measure gait without special equipment.
IstanbulAges 18–26 - NCT07253532Recruiting
Vibration belt study for improving balance and walking
This study tests a belt that vibrates to help with balance and walking. It may help people with balance problems due to conditions like ataxia or inner ear issues.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT07236216Recruiting
Brain stimulation with walking training for stroke recovery
This study tests if combining brain stimulation (tES) with a walking training program can improve thinking, movement, and brain activity in stroke survivors. You may benefit if you have some walking ability and no major health risks.
Nakhon PathomAges 18–80 - NCT07196878Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided nerve stimulation to improve walking after stroke
This study tests a new, non-surgical treatment using ultrasound and gentle electrical stimulation (like a tiny pulse) to help improve walking after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke and are still working on their walking in physical therapy.
Zaragoza, AragonAges 18–70 - NCT06947889Recruiting
Biofeedback and robot walking training for children with CP
This study tests a biofeedback system added to robotic walking training for children with cerebral palsy. The robot helps move the legs while a screen gives real-time feedback, aiming to improve walking ability.
San Giovanni Rotondo, FGAges 3–18 - NCT07161128Enrolling by invitation
Walking Pattern Study After Ankle Cartilage Repair Surgery
This trial will study how walking patterns change after a type of ankle surgery called microfracture with a scaffold, which helps repair a damaged area of bone and cartilage. It may help you if you have that specific defect and are planning this surgery.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07147933Recruiting
Treatment for crouch gait in cerebral palsy
This trial tests a treatment for children with cerebral palsy who have a crouched walking pattern, a forward-tilted pelvis, and weak calf muscles. It uses EMG to check muscle activity and aims to improve walking.
AmmanAges 4–10 - NCT07147543RecruitingPhase 4
Study of a powered exercise device for walking problems
This trial tests if a motorized leg exercise machine can help improve walking and balance in adults with gait disorders. It may be suitable for people who have difficulty walking but can stand with or without help.
Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, South KoreaAges 19 years+ - NCT07108920Recruiting
Balance and Botox for Stiff Knee Gait
This study tests whether botulinum toxin (Botox) injections into the rectus femoris thigh muscle can improve balance and walking in people with a stiff knee gait (a common problem after stroke, brain injury, or multiple sclerosis).
Héricourt, Nord Franche-ComtéAges 18 years+ - NCT07087769Recruiting
Improving walking symmetry after stroke with special devices
This study uses special devices and feedback to help people who have had a stroke walk more evenly (symmetrically). It tests if these tools can improve walking patterns and balance.
Galveston, TexasAges 20 years+ - NCT07087743Recruiting
Virtual reality rehab for walking after stroke
This study uses virtual reality to help people who have had a stroke improve their walking. It provides feedback on how you push off with your feet, which may strengthen your walking pattern.
Galveston, TexasAges 20 years+ - NCT07076602Recruiting
Walking and energy use in children with leg amputations
This study looks at how children with a leg amputation walk and how much energy they use when walking. It aims to better understand gait and energy use to improve care and prosthetic fitting.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gait?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 334 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.
