New shoe for people with foot drop
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new shoe designed to help people with foot drop (when you can't lift the front part of your foot). If you have had foot drop for 6 months or more and can walk a short distance, this trial may help you find a better way to walk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a walking robot can help improve walking when you have foot drop (trouble lifting the front of your foot) in one leg. It’s a demonstration project, meaning the goal is to see if the approach is workable and helpful for people who are older or living with a disability.
This study tests a seated robotic device that helps move the ankle and improve walking for people with long-term foot drop. If you can safely participate in low-intensity rehab and meet the walking and skin/infection requirements, this could help see whether the training works for your condition.
This trial studies whether a ready-made carbon ankle-foot brace (AFO) improves walking when someone has “drop foot” (trouble lifting the front of the foot). It’s meant to help with standing and stability by supporting the ankle and foot.
This study tests a special shoe insert called the Flash-Sole that helps you walk. You will wear it during a single visit while we record how you walk.
This study tests a special shoe that changes friction to help improve walking for people who have had a stroke. It lasts 6 months and involves daily exercises at home.
This study tests a special shoe designed to reduce foot pressure in people with diabetes and nerve damage. It looks at how well the shoe fits and how comfortable it feels to wear.
