Training with a leg exoskeleton after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a “human–machine” leg exoskeleton system to help people with stroke improve standing and walking during rehab. You may be able to participate if you have certain levels of disability and spasticity, can safely stand and walk with help, and don’t have skin, joint, or medical issues that would make training unsafe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke at least 3 months ago (sub-acute) or at least 6 months ago (chronic).
- You can think clearly enough to follow instructions (Mini-Mental State score above 24).
- Your day-to-day disability after stroke is mild to moderate (Modified Rankin score 2–4).
- Your muscle stiffness/spasticity is not too severe (Modified Ashworth score 2 or less).
- Your skin is healthy (no wounds or problems where the device would touch).
- Your joints can move enough to safely train: hip, knee, and ankle have the required motion range.

This trial tests if a special robot suit can help people with chronic stroke improve their walking. If you had a stroke 6 months to 3 years ago and can walk a little with help, you may be able to join.
This study tests a wearable robotic leg brace that helps people with leg weakness practice walking. It aims to see if using the robot improves strength and movement for people recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, or joint replacement surgery.
This study tests if a wearable robotic leg brace (an exoskeleton) can help people who have had a stroke walk better. It is for stroke survivors who are at least 6 months past their stroke and can already walk without help from another person.
This study is testing whether a wearable robotic leg device can help stroke survivors improve their walking and leg function during rehabilitation. If you have had a stroke and can already stand and walk a little, this robot suit may help you regain more strength and mobility.
This study tests a robotic walking trainer to help people with leg weakness from stroke, spinal cord injury, or hip/knee surgery improve their ability to walk. If you qualify, you will use a robot device that supports your legs while you practice walking.
This study tests a robotic device (SHAJA-R exoskeleton) that helps move your hips during walking. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago and still have some trouble walking, but can walk a little with or without help.
