LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT06815302Recruiting
Improving turning and freezing in Parkinson's disease
This study tests whether a 6-week exercise program can help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait. You would exercise three times a week to see if it reduces freezing and improves turning.
Tempe, ArizonaAges 50–80 - NCT06696040Enrolling by invitation
Kinesiotherapy machine for leg stiffness and walking in neurological patients
This trial tests if a passive kinesiotherapy machine can improve leg stiffness (spasticity) and walking ability in people with neurological conditions like stroke or cerebral palsy. It may help those who have trouble moving their legs due to tight muscles.
Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do SulAges 9 years+ - NCT06617884Recruiting
Home balance training for movement disorders
This study tests a home-based walking and balance training program for people with cerebellar ataxia or Parkinson's disease. The training is done at home, so you don't need to travel. The goal is to see if this simple exercise program can improve your walking and balance.
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–75 - NCT06642519Enrolling by invitation
Brain-computer interface for freezing of gait in Parkinson's
This study tests a brain-computer interface device to help people with Parkinson's disease who experience freezing of gait. The goal is to see if the device can reduce freezing episodes when medication isn't enough.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT04837105Recruiting
Game-based training to help children walk better with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether a serious video game can improve walking and movement in children with cerebral palsy. It may help your child practice safer, more effective walking skills through guided play.
Saint-Fargeau-Ponthierry, Île-de-France RegionAges 10–18 - NCT06533956Recruiting
Walking training with blood flow restriction for children with cerebral palsy
This study tests a new walking program that combines treadmill training with a special pressure cuff on the legs (blood flow restriction). It may help children with cerebral palsy strengthen their legs and walk better.
AngersAges 8–18 - NCT06400186Recruiting
Walking training to improve balance after stroke
This trial tests a new walking training method designed to help you improve your balance after a stroke. It's for people who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk a short distance, with or without a cane or simple ankle brace.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT06400043Recruiting
Walking while thinking in kids with coordination disorder
This study looks at how walking and thinking at the same time (dual-tasking) affects children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). It may help understand why multitasking can be harder for some kids and lead to better support strategies.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 7–17 - NCT06407219Recruiting
Robot-assisted walking training for nerve or muscle problems
This study tests if a single session of walking with a robotic device called Trexo can help people who have trouble walking due to a nerve or muscle condition. The robot supports your legs and helps you practice walking.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 4 years+ - NCT06327035Recruiting
Walking recovery after a recent stroke
This study follows how walking ability improves in people recovering from a recent stroke during their stay in a rehabilitation center. The goal is to better understand recovery patterns so therapy can be tailored.
Granville, NormandyAges 18 years+ - NCT05192759Recruiting
Theta-burst brain stimulation for walking freezing in Parkinson’s
This trial tests whether a specific type of noninvasive brain stimulation (theta-burst TMS) can improve “freezing of gait,” where walking suddenly stops. It may help by targeting brain circuits involved in movement, especially if your symptoms persist despite stable medication.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 40–85 - NCT04855825Recruiting
Wearable robotic exoskeleton to improve walking and thinking in MS
