Brain recovery treatment for recent stroke with ankle stiffness
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment to help your brain recover after a stroke. It focuses on improving ankle movement and leg strength using exercises that promote brain rewiring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first stroke (either bleeding or clot) and it happened between 1 day and 1 month ago.
- You have weakness or paralysis on one side of your body.
- Your ankle muscles are weak (scored 2 or less on manual muscle testing).
- Your ankle feels stiff, or you have trouble lifting your foot upward.
- You are between 30 and 85 years old.

This study tests whether gentle leg exercises can help people recovering from a recent stroke. The focus is on improving ankle movement and strength on the weak side.
This study tests whether a robot that helps your ankle move in a way that exaggerates mistakes can improve your walking. It is for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have weakness or difficulty walking.
This study tests a sensory-motor rehabilitation program to improve movement of the ankle and affected leg after a first stroke. It may help people regain safer, more controlled walking and leg movement.
This study tests a robotic ankle device to help improve walking in people after a stroke who still have foot drop (the foot doesn’t lift well). It may help strengthen or retrain walking patterns during recovery.
This trial tests a “hybrid” rehab program that combines robot-assisted walking practice with electrical stimulation to help movement after stroke. It may help people improve walking and leg function at home as they work with a caregiver.
This trial tests a robot-assisted training program for the foot and ankle in people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The goal is to improve movement and walking by using special exercises guided by a robotic device.
