Rehabilitation with exoskeleton for pushing behavior after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding exoskeleton-assisted exercises to standard rehab can help people who push away from their weak side after a right-brain stroke. You may be eligible if you had a first ischemic stroke on the right side within the last 2 weeks to 6 months and have this pushing behavior.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a first stroke on the right side of your brain, between 2 weeks and 6 months ago
- You push toward your weak side (lateropulsion) and lean away from the stronger side
- You have a noticeable bias in your visual vertical (seeing the world as tilted)
- You are right-handed
- You are currently staying in a physical medicine and rehabilitation facility
- You do not have severe muscle tightness or other conditions that would prevent using the robot exoskeleton

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests a “human–machine” leg exoskeleton system to help people with stroke improve standing and walking during rehab. You may be able to participate if you have certain levels of disability and spasticity, can safely stand and walk with help, and don’t have skin, joint, or medical issues that would make training unsafe.
This trial tests a high-tech rehabilitation program using an exoskeleton to help people recover arm movement after a stroke. It aims to improve multiple areas of function, like strength and daily activities.
This trial tests a robot-assisted therapy for people who have had a right-sided stroke, have trouble paying attention to the left side (neglect), and have weakness on the left side of the body. The goal is to see if this robotic rehab can help improve attention and movement.
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.
This trial tests whether wearing a robotic exoskeleton can help improve balance and reduce falls in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and still have leg weakness. It may be a good fit if you are worried about falling and can walk on a treadmill without a cane or walker.
