Seated ankle robot for foot drop
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a seated robotic device that helps move your ankle to improve foot drop, a condition where you can't lift your foot properly. It's designed for people who have ankle weakness from nerve or muscle injuries and may help improve walking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 88 years old.
- You have chronic foot drop and ankle weakness in one leg from a nerve or muscle injury.
- You can walk 10 meters (about 33 feet) and get up from a chair without help, though you may use a cane, walker, or other assistive device.
- You are not currently in other rehab or orthopedic programs.
- You have no active blood clots, skin infections, or inflammation in the affected leg.
- You have no medical conditions that would make seated robotic rehab unsafe for you.

This study tests a robotic ankle device to help improve walking in people after a stroke who still have foot drop (the foot doesn’t lift well). It may help strengthen or retrain walking patterns during recovery.
This study tests a motorized ankle brace (walking robot) that helps lift your foot when you walk. It aims to improve walking speed and ease for people with foot drop from nerve injury.
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 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 a new type of shoe designed to help people who have foot drop (when you can't lift the front part of your foot) walk more easily. If you've had foot drop for 6 months or more, this trial may help improve your walking.
This study tests whether a robot that helps your ankle move in a way that exaggerates mistakes can improve your walking. It is for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have weakness or difficulty walking.
