Gainesville, FloridaAges 65–89 - NCT06932679Recruiting
How people with Parkinson’s cross obstacles
This study looks at how people with and without Parkinson’s disease see and step over obstacles while walking. It aims to understand differences in perception and movement to help improve safety and mobility for people with Parkinson’s.
HaifaAges 20–80 - NCT06846047Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for balance and walking
This study tests whether mild electrical stimulation of the inner ear (vestibular system) can help improve balance and walking. It may be a good fit if you have a condition like vertigo, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or concussion-related balance issues.
Cupertino, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT06647082Recruiting
Robotic exoskeleton and game-based therapy for kids
This study tests a robotic exoskeleton (like a wearable robot) combined with fun video game activities to help kids and young adults improve their walking. It is designed for people who have certain knee problems when they walk.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 4–21 - NCT06320288Recruiting
Balance and movement study in children with cerebral palsy
This study looks at how children with cerebral palsy control their trunk and center of mass while walking. It may help understand balance challenges and guide future therapies.
NancyAges 1.5 years–18 years - NCT05968729Recruiting
Study testing walking changes after ACL surgery
This study looks at how your walking pattern adapts when you follow a purposely uneven walking setup. It may help researchers understand recovery after ACL surgery and how to improve return-to-sport safety.
Storrs, ConnecticutAges 18–30 - NCT05992064Recruiting
Wearable sensors to track recovery after knee replacement
This study uses a small wearable sensor placed on your leg after knee replacement surgery to track your recovery. It helps doctors see how well you are moving and healing, without extra visits to the hospital.
Frederikshavn, North DenmarkAges 18 years+ - NCT05641597Recruiting
Free fibula bone transfer study after reconstructive surgery
This study looks at how well a specific reconstructive operation works for a person’s daily function, especially after surgery that replaces part of bone using a healthy bone and blood supply. It may help the team understand what recovery and movement outcomes to expect after this procedure.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT04822558Recruiting
3D foot scan after reconstructive ankle and foot surgery
This trial tests whether a detailed 3D foot model (made from measurements/scans) can better predict outcomes after certain reconstructive ankle and foot surgeries. You may be able to join if you’re already scheduled for one of these surgeries and can meet walking and measurement requirements.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT02142946Recruiting
Track balance and walking in people with MS
This study measures how well you can balance and walk over time. It may help researchers understand balance problems in multiple sclerosis and how they change with movement.
BaselAges 18–80 - NCT07085416Recruiting
Smart ankle brace study for special ops rehab
This study tests a sensor-equipped ankle brace to help with rehabilitation. Researchers want to see how it works in healthy adults and active individuals, like those in special operations.

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.
