Walking recovery after stroke using a robotic exoskeleton
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if a robotic exoskeleton can help people who have had a stroke walk again. You must be between 3 and 8 months post-stroke, able to walk with a cane or walker, and fit certain physical requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke 3 to 8 months ago.
- You are between 50 and 80 years old.
- You have weakness on one side of your body (hemiparesis).
- You are between 5 feet and 6 feet 4 inches tall and weigh less than 220 pounds.
- You can understand directions and give informed consent.
- You can walk with a walker or cane and have enough strength to use it while wearing the device.

This Phase 1 trial tests a robotic exoskeleton device that helps stroke survivors practice walking. It may help you relearn walking safely and see whether the device is workable for your body and needs.
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 study tests a wearable robot (exoskeleton) that helps you walk better after a stroke. You might benefit if you can already walk on your own but want to improve your walking ability.
This trial tests whether early, robot-assisted walking training can help people recovering from a stroke improve their ability to walk. It uses a wearable robotic exoskeleton to support your body and guide your legs during practice.
This trial tests a robotic exoskeleton (Atalante) to help people who have had a stroke and have trouble walking. It looks at whether using the device early (1–4 months after stroke) can improve the ability to walk again.
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.
