Exoskeleton help for walking after a stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a wearable robot (exoskeleton) that helps you walk better after a stroke. You might benefit if you can already walk on your own but want to improve your walking ability.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- Your stroke happened at least 6 months ago
- You live in the community, not in an assisted living facility
- You can walk without another person's help (a cane or orthotic is okay, but not a walker)
- You do not need a walker to walk independently
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a robotic leg suit (exosuit) to help improve walking after a stroke. You may be eligible if you had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have trouble walking safely.
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 trial studies whether assisted walking training with an exoskeleton can improve recovery after stroke, especially for walking and daily function. You may be offered therapy once you are medically stable, able to stand, and able to participate safely.
This trial tests whether wearing a robotic exoskeleton can help improve balance and reduce falls in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and still have leg weakness. It may be a good fit if you are worried about falling and can walk on a treadmill without a cane or walker.
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 “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.
