Robotic brace walking training for people shortly after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This Phase 1 trial tests a robotic exoskeleton device that helps stroke survivors practice walking. It may help you relearn walking safely and see whether the device is workable for your body and needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your most recent stroke within the last 4 weeks
- You are 21 to 80 years old
- Your weakness affects one side of your body (unilateral hemiparesis)
- You can safely bear weight and walk with an assistive device while wearing the brace
- You can fit the device: height under 60 inches or over 76 inches, and weight must be under 220 pounds
- You can follow simple instructions and communicate in English enough to do training and consent

This trial tests whether using a wearable robotic device at home can improve walking ability in people who have had a stroke. If you have trouble walking due to a stroke, this study may help you regain strength and mobility.
This study tests if a robotic exoskeleton can help people who have had a stroke walk again. You must be between 3 and 8 months post-stroke, able to walk with a cane or walker, and fit certain physical requirements.
This trial tests whether early, robot-assisted walking training can help people recovering from a stroke improve their ability to walk. It uses a wearable robotic exoskeleton to support your body and guide your legs during practice.
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.
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.
This study tests whether a special visual training program before using a walking robot can improve walking recovery in people who have had a stroke or similar brain injury within the last 6 months and have trouble sensing their affected side. If you join, you might get this extra visual practice to help your brain relearn movement.
