Robot-assisted walking for hereditary spastic paraplegia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests if robot-assisted walking therapy can help people with hereditary spastic paraplegia (a condition causing progressive leg stiffness and weakness) improve their walking ability. It may be an option if you can walk indoors on your own.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a combined exercise program with flexibility, strength, aerobic, and movement training to see if it helps improve walking in adults with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia. Participants attend at least 10 supervised sessions over several weeks.
This study looks at the causes and biology (“biomarkers”) of hereditary spastic paraplegias and related conditions. You may join as someone with the condition, a family member without symptoms, or a healthy person, to help researchers understand what’s happening in the nervous system.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called neuromodulation) can improve walking, balance, and other movements in adults with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). It may be a good fit if you can walk with or without help, have stable spasticity medications, and don't have a pacemaker or epilepsy.
This trial tests whether a guided 12-week strength and movement exercise program, done at home using your phone or computer, can improve walking ability and muscle strength in people with hereditary spastic paraplegia (a genetic condition that causes leg stiffness and weakness). The program is tailored to your current fitness level.
This study looks at how well surgery works for foot problems like tight heel cords or clubfoot in people with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), a condition that causes leg stiffness. It aims to see if surgery can improve walking, reduce pain, and prevent falls.
This trial tests an intensive, video-based exercise program for people with a specific type of hereditary spastic paraparesis (SPG4). It aims to see if adding extra training at home can improve walking and strength.
