Walking implant for incomplete spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests an implant to help people with incomplete spinal cord injury walk better. It is for those who can walk slowly or with difficulty and have some muscle function in their trunk or legs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have a spinal cord injury at neck or back level that affects your trunk or legs, but you still have some feeling or movement
- You can walk slower than 0.8 meters per second (about 2.6 feet per second) on a 10-meter walking test
- Your injury happened more than six months ago
- You are willing to follow the study schedule and have someone to support you

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a special nerve stimulator implanted in the neck that may help improve walking after a spinal cord injury. If you have had an incomplete spinal cord injury and still have trouble walking, this treatment might help you regain some movement.
This trial tests if an electrical stimulation device placed in the spine can help people with spinal cord injury improve their ability to walk. It is for adults who had a traumatic injury either very recently (within 6 weeks) or more than a year ago.
This trial tests an advanced device that helps control and use your legs and trunk muscles for movement. It may help people with certain types of paralysis or weakness to improve function, while closely monitoring safety and comfort.
This trial tests a self-balancing exoskeleton (a wearable robotic device) to help people with spinal cord injury stand and walk. It is for people with injury at or above T6, at least 6 months past injury, and a caregiver who can help during the study visits.
This trial will test a self-balancing personal exoskeleton for people with spinal cord injuries. It may help you walk again and improve your mobility.
This trial tests whether placing a small device on the spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain the ability to walk. It is designed for those who have had a traumatic injury and still have some movement in their upper body.
