Motorized Leg Brace to Improve Walking After Injury
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a custom motorized leg brace (called an AFO) to help people walk better after a past leg injury. If you have had a leg injury for over a year and can stand for 30 minutes, this device might help improve your walking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a leg injury more than a year ago.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You can stand for 30 minutes at a time.
- Your ankle moves enough to wear a special brace (AFO).
- You can follow instructions and give your permission to join the study.
- You don't have other health problems that would make walking with the device unsafe.

This study tests a new type of leg brace for people who currently use an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) to help with walking or daily activities after a lower leg injury. The goal is to see if the new brace works better and is more comfortable.
This trial is studying how different types of ankle braces (AFOs) affect walking ability in people who have had a stroke. It may help find the best brace to improve mobility.
This study looks at how changing the heel height and stiffness of an AFO (a brace you wear on your lower leg/foot) changes your walking pattern. The goal is to learn which brace settings may improve comfort and walking.
This study tests whether a custom carbon fiber brace can help people with foot or ankle injuries walk with less pain and better balance. If you have an injury below your knee and need a special brace, this trial may be a good fit.
This study tests new motorized prosthetic legs (artificial limbs) to see if they help people walk better and farther. You'll wear the device and do some walking activities to help researchers understand if it improves movement and quality of life.
This study tests if a wearable robotic leg brace (an exoskeleton) can help people who have had a stroke walk better. It is for stroke survivors who are at least 6 months past their stroke and can already walk without help from another person.
