Testing a leg neuroprosthesis for walking and leg control
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests an advanced device that helps control and use your legs and trunk muscles for movement. It may help people with certain types of paralysis or weakness to improve function, while closely monitoring safety and comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 and can sign consent (or have a way to do this yourself).
- You have paralysis or weakness in the trunk and/or legs that is not from a breathing machine, from causes like stroke, spinal cord injury, brain injury, or multiple sclerosis.
- Your lower body has working nerve signals that can be “stimulated” by the device (the team will check).
- You have stable social support (someone who can help as needed) and a stable home situation.
- You agree to attend follow-up visits and follow study instructions.

This trial tests a special stimulation device (a “neuroprosthesis”) to help people with spinal cord injury improve how they sit upright and maintain balance. If you meet safety and readiness requirements, it may help your trunk and pelvic muscles work more effectively during posture and balance tasks.
This trial studies whether a spinal cord stimulation approach plus rehab can improve function and safety in people with an incomplete spinal cord injury who cannot walk. It may help people by supporting rehabilitation over time, but it requires surgery and specific health and imaging conditions.
This study tests whether a device placed on the back can help improve leg movement and walking ability after a spinal cord injury. It combines the device with supervised physical therapy over many weeks to see if it helps with daily mobility.
This study tests spinal stimulation and mobility-related devices to see if they can improve how well you move. You would visit a lab, do simple movement tasks, and share feedback about comfort and what you experience.
This trial studies whether an implanted device that can record and stimulate brain signals is safe and may improve movement in people with motor disability from certain nerve or brain conditions. It’s for adults with stable, long-lasting paralysis and good brain function who can follow the study plan.
This trial studies whether a non-surgical electrical treatment to the spinal area can improve walking and leg control after a stroke. It’s for people who have had a single stroke and still need hands-on support to walk.
