Testing a robotic leg brace for stroke survivors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if a wearable robotic leg brace (an exoskeleton) can help people who have had a stroke walk better. It is for stroke survivors who are at least 6 months past their stroke and can already walk without help from another person.
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 at home (not in a nursing home or assisted living facility).
- You can walk without another person's help (you may use a cane or brace, but not a walker).
- You are able to give your permission to be in the study.
- You do not have any other major health condition that could affect the study results.

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 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 if a special robot suit can help people with chronic stroke improve their walking. If you had a stroke 6 months to 3 years ago and can walk a little with help, you may be able to join.
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 wearable robotic leg brace that helps people with leg weakness practice walking. It aims to see if using the robot improves strength and movement for people recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, or joint replacement surgery.
