Walking help device with electrical stimulation after stroke
This study tests a new device that combines a walking aid with electrical stimulation to help people who have had a stroke regain leg strength and movement. It may help you walk better if you have some leg movement but still need support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You had a stroke (either from a blocked blood vessel or bleeding in the brain) confirmed by a scan.
- You have some strength in your affected leg, enough to move it against gravity but not full strength.
- You do not have a pacemaker or metal implants in your legs.
- You are able to understand and follow instructions, and you are not too unwell or unstable.
- You have no severe skin problems or burns where the device would be placed.

This study tests a multi-channel electrical stimulation device that helps people who have had a stroke walk better. It uses small electrical pulses to help your leg muscles move during walking, and the goal is to see if it's practical and effective for rehabilitation.
This study tests whether adding a type of electrical stimulation to leg muscles during walking can improve walking ability for people who are at least 6 months past a stroke. If you have weakness on one side and can walk on a treadmill with some help, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a home-based program using electrical stimulation to help people with long-term stroke improve walking and leg movement. If you qualify, you may use the device and a smartphone app at home with guidance from the study team.
This trial tests a new way to help people with stroke move their legs better by combining electrical stimulation on the back and leg. If you have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can already walk with or without a cane, this treatment might help strengthen ankle muscles and make walking easier.
This trial studies whether a non-surgical electrical treatment to the spinal area can improve walking and leg control after a stroke. It’s for people who have had a single stroke and still need hands-on support to walk.
This trial tests a combination of two types of electrical stimulation—one applied to the head and one to the legs—to see if it helps improve walking and leg strength after a recent stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke within the last 14 days and can still walk with or without support.
