Robot training plus electrical stimulation after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a “hybrid” rehab program that combines robot-assisted walking practice with electrical stimulation to help movement after stroke. It may help people improve walking and leg function at home as they work with a caregiver.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- You can walk at least 10 meters with no hands-on help from a person (you may use a walker or other device)
- Your stroke happened at least 6 months ago
- You have a caregiver who can help you train at home
- You can understand and carry out multi-step instructions
- You are not in another lower-limb (leg) rehab program

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 trial tests a robot-assisted training program for the foot and ankle in people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The goal is to improve movement and walking by using special exercises guided by a robotic device.
This trial tests if combining two types of electrical stimulation with a robotic device can help improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It may be a good option if you have some movement in your arm but not full strength.
This trial tests a home-based device that uses small electrical pulses to help activate weak leg muscles after a stroke. It aims to improve walking and leg strength, and uses a smartphone app for remote guidance.
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.
This study tests a therapy using small electrical pulses to help people who have had a stroke move their arm and hand better. It is for people who already receive Botox injections for muscle tightness and have some movement in their arm.
