Robotic ankle device therapy after stroke-related foot drop
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your stroke was either more than 6 weeks but less than 6 months ago, or more than 6 months ago
- You still have stroke-related weakness on one side that affects your leg and causes foot drop
- A clinician can clearly see abnormal (hemiparetic) walking during an exam
- You have no recent major heart problems, unstable heart symptoms, or certain serious heart conditions
- Your blood pressure is not too high for regular physical therapy (must be 160/100 or lower on two checks)

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.
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.
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 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 if using a robot to help with leg movements during rehab can improve your quality of life, mood, and tiredness after a stroke. The robot assists with exercises to help you move and function better.
This study tests two types of robot-assisted walking training to see which one helps people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve their walking. It aims to find the best way to regain mobility and independence.
