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

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 study tests a new way to help people with spinal cord injury improve their walking. If you have some ankle movement but still need support to walk, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if a smart spinal cord stimulation device can improve leg movement in people with incomplete spinal cord injury. The device adjusts stimulation in real time to help you walk better.
This trial tests a self-balancing exoskeleton (a wearable robotic suit) to help people with spinal cord injuries stand and walk. It is designed for those with injuries at or above the T6 level and looks at how well the device works and how it feels to use.
