Test knee muscle activation in people with nerve or movement disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study checks how well your knee muscles “turn on” during guided, controlled knee movements. It may help researchers understand movement problems and improve testing or therapies for neuromotor (nerve/movement) disorders.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You can sign consent and understand the instructions
- You can fully follow a knee movement task and do at least 70° of knee bend/straighten range
- Your knee can straighten close to fully (max extension angle must be under 30°)
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have epilepsy and you do not have certain implants that feel stimuli (electro-sensitive devices)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is looking at ways to improve movement and health for people with paralysis from conditions like spinal cord injury, stroke, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis. It involves exercises and may include electrical stimulation to help your leg and trunk muscles work better.
This trial tests if gentle vibrations on knee muscles can improve how your brain senses knee movement, which may help you move better. It is for healthy adults who want to see if this non-invasive treatment boosts motor performance.
This study measures how people move while using assistive devices during guided movement tasks, sometimes on a treadmill. It may help improve these tools and how safely they support different types of movement needs.
This trial studies whether a special strength-training program that uses an “isokinetic” machine can improve walking and knee control in people after stroke. It is for people who have noticeable knee movement during walking and can safely take part in rehab.
This trial studies how your thigh muscle adapts after a simulated knee injury. It uses mild electrical stimulation and a small needle to measure muscle signals, and may help improve recovery after knee injuries.
This study tests a simple tool to measure muscle stiffness after a stroke. It helps doctors better understand how to treat muscle tightness that some people have after a stroke.
