Recruiting studies
- NCT05735691Recruiting
Gait training for people with multiple sclerosis using treadmill exercises
This study tests a high-intensity treadmill walking program designed to improve walking stability for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help you build safer, more confident walking, but you must meet several health and ability requirements to take part.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–75 - NCT05739279Recruiting
Study of muscle loss in people with lipedema
This study looks at whether people with lipedema also have low muscle strength or muscle loss, and what factors might be related. It may help doctors better understand lipedema and identify targets for future care.
IzmirAges 18–85 - NCT05763732Recruiting
Testing how brain stimulation affects walking in Parkinson’s
This trial looks at how turning on and using a specific Parkinson’s brain stimulator affects your walking. It may help doctors understand what changes in gait (walking) can happen with this device and settings.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–89 - NCT05800470Recruiting
Brain-training with light sensors to improve walking in Parkinson’s
This trial tests a “neurofeedback” training program using a special light-sensing cap (fNIRS) to help improve balance and walking in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may also do guided walking practice mentally (imagery training), and your ability to walk and balance will be measured.
Taipei, None SelectedAges 40–85 - NCT05818189Recruiting
Study walking brain signals in Parkinson’s with medication and cues
This study measures brain activity while you walk using a noninvasive light sensor setup. Researchers want to see how Parkinson’s medication and simple “walking cues” change balance and brain signals.
Portland, OregonAges 45–85 - NCT05822258Recruiting
Tracking freezing while walking in Parkinson’s using motion sensors
This study tests motion-sensor devices (small inertial measurement units) to detect moments when walking suddenly “freezes” in Parkinson’s disease. If you have freezing episodes, it may help researchers measure them more accurately and support better monitoring.
Rennes, Brittany RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT05857696Recruiting
Spinal Stimulation to Improve Walking in Chronic Back and Leg Pain
This pilot study tests whether a special spinal cord stimulator—a small device that sends gentle electrical signals to your spinal cord—can help you walk better if you have ongoing nerve pain in your lower back and leg after spine surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and improve your ability to move around.
NiceAges 18–70 - NCT05886725Recruiting
At-home walking test to help recovery after major surgery
This study looks at how a simple at-home walking pattern test, done before and after major surgery, relates to how older adults recover. It may help doctors better understand recovery and possibly tailor support after surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 60 years+ - NCT05887440Recruiting
Isokinetic strength training for knee control after stroke
This trial studies whether a special strength-training program that uses an “isokinetic” machine can improve walking and knee control in people after stroke. It is for people who have noticeable knee movement during walking and can safely take part in rehab.
RennesAges 18–75 - NCT05893186RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing DBS settings for walking and balance in Parkinson’s
This early-phase study looks at whether adjusting deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve posture, walking, and balance in people with Parkinson’s disease. If you already have DBS in place, the trial uses computer-based planning to try different DBS directions and settings to see what helps you most.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–89 - NCT05893524Recruiting
Dementia and walking study using simple movement tests
This study looks at how memory problems and walking/mobility are connected. It may help researchers understand better ways to assess dementia risk and mobility changes early.
Falun, Dalarna CountyAges 37–94 - NCT05899153Recruiting
Gait training with feedback for children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests whether walking practice with real-time feedback (“biofeedback”) can improve how people with cerebral palsy move their legs. It’s designed to help with safer, more efficient walking during treadmill training.
Saint Paul, MinnesotaAges 7–18 - NCT05908279Recruiting
Walking and gait study in people with Parkinson’s disease
This trial studies walking patterns and how walking is controlled in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help researchers understand movement control and improve future therapies by comparing walking ability and patterns.
Louvain-la-NeuveAges 18–99 - NCT05921175Recruiting
Stimulation and robotic walking training for incomplete spinal injuries
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the spinal area plus robotic gait training can improve walking function in people with a traumatic spinal cord injury who are not walking independently. It’s meant for people with incomplete injuries where some nerve signals still work, and who can safely use the robotic exoskeleton.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 21–65 - NCT05945212Recruiting
Vibration therapy to help leg recovery after subacute stroke
This study tests whether a program using local vibrations on the muscles in the front of your ankle can improve leg nerve and movement recovery after stroke. It may help people who have weak ankle lifting during the weeks to months after stroke.
Le Chambon-FeugerollesAges 18–80 - NCT05983809Recruiting
Balance and walking rehab using technology for MS
This trial tests a new type of balance and walking training for people with multiple sclerosis. It uses technology to help improve your stability and gait, which may help you move more safely and confidently.
Roma, RMAges 18–65 - NCT06053320Recruiting
Stroke rehab study using brain stimulation and movement training
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation combined with movement training can help people who have had a right-side stroke improve their arm and hand function. It also includes healthy adults to compare results.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–90 - NCT06107010Recruiting
Robotic exoskeleton for walking after stroke
This trial tests a robotic exoskeleton (Atalante) to help people who have had a stroke and have trouble walking. It looks at whether using the device early (1–4 months after stroke) can improve the ability to walk again.
CréteilAges 18 years+ - NCT06142448Recruiting
Walking tricks for better gait in Parkinson's
This study tests whether using simple walking tricks (like stepping over lines or listening to a beat) can help people with Parkinson's improve their walking. If you haven't already been using these tricks daily, you may be able to join and see if they help you.
NijmegenAges 18 years+ - NCT06187467Recruiting
Understanding balance and walking after a first stroke
This study tracks how balance and walking change over time after a first stroke, using simple tests and wearable sensors. It may help find better ways to help you recover your ability to walk safely.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 21–85 - NCT06208631Recruiting
Movement retraining for knee osteoarthritis pain
This study tests a movement retraining program to see if changing how you walk can reduce stress on your knee and ease osteoarthritis pain. It’s a good fit for people with mild knee pain who want a non-surgical option.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06242873Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for kids with incomplete injuries
This study tests if mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord can help children ages 3 to 16 with incomplete spinal cord injuries walk better. It is important for children who still have some movement in their legs but need extra help to improve their walking.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 3–16 - NCT06247553Recruiting
Walking exercise program for stroke survivors who can't walk
This study aims to develop a walking exercise program for people who have had a stroke and cannot walk on their own. It will test a treadmill-based program to help improve walking ability.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18–80 - NCT06258369Recruiting
How people with hip arthritis start walking

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.
