Electrical stimulation cycling for stroke recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a special bike that delivers mild electrical pulses to your leg muscles can help improve walking after a stroke. If you have weakness on one side from a stroke that happened 3 to 12 months ago, this study may be a good fit for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult who had a first stroke that only affects one side of your body.
- You can walk safely on your own.
- Your stroke happened between 3 months and 1 year ago.
- You are able to understand and follow simple instructions.
- You do not have other nerve problems, unstable heart conditions, or a pacemaker.

This trial tests if an electrical stimulator controlled by muscle signals can help improve arm function after a stroke. It may benefit people who have some movement but not full control in one arm.
This study tests whether adding Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) to arm bike exercises can help improve arm movement in people who had a stroke within the last six months. It is designed for those with weakness on one side of the body.
This study tests whether adding a type of electrical stimulation to leg muscles during walking can improve walking ability for people who are at least 6 months past a stroke. If you have weakness on one side and can walk on a treadmill with some help, you may be able to join.
This trial tests functional electrical stimulation (FES)—a technique that uses mild electrical pulses to help activate arm muscles—combined with training to improve upper limb function and reduce stiffness after stroke. It may help you regain better movement and control in your arm.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation paired with assisted “FES” cycling can improve walking-related leg movement in people after spinal cord injury. You may be able to take part if you can already walk short distances independently and your injury is stable (non-progressive).
This study tests a special cycling exercise program designed to help people who have had a stroke regain arm and leg movement. It aims to see if this focused cycling therapy can improve recovery and reduce healthcare costs.
