Walking therapy with and without muscle stimulation for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding electrical muscle stimulation to a walking and movement program helps stroke survivors walk better, become more independent, and improve their quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether a non-surgical electrical treatment to the spinal area can improve walking and leg control after a stroke. It’s for people who have had a single stroke and still need hands-on support to walk.
This trial tests whether combining electrical muscle stimulation with nerve movement exercises can help improve arm strength and function in people who've had a stroke at least 3 months ago. The goal is to help you regain better control and movement in your affected arm.
This study tests a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation applied to the lower back to see if it helps people who have trouble walking or moving their leg after a stroke. The goal is to improve balance and mobility.
This trial tests whether combining two types of therapy—guided movement exercises and mild electrical stimulation of muscles—can help people recover strength and movement after a stroke. If you've had a recent stroke and can walk a little, this study may help you regain function.
This trial tests a new way to help people with stroke move their legs better by combining electrical stimulation on the back and leg. If you have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can already walk with or without a cane, this treatment might help strengthen ankle muscles and make walking easier.
This trial tests whether walking with a type of spinal cord stimulation can help people who have had a stroke and can only walk slowly at home. It aims to improve walking ability and independence.
