Walking aid study for foot and ankle weakness
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests a leg brace (orthosis) called NEUROSWING to see if it helps people with foot drop or other foot and ankle weakness walk faster. It is a real-world study to support coverage by French health insurance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have difficulty lifting your foot (foot drop) or weakness in the foot/ankle muscles, or other issues like ankle spasticity or knee overextension when walking.
- You can walk with or without a cane, walker, or other aid.
- You have never used this type of brace (NEUROSWING or carbon-fiber brace) before.

This study tests an at-home wearable activity monitor and brace-related walking support for people who already use a knee-ankle-foot brace. It may help researchers understand how brace use and day-to-day movement relate to walking ability.
This trial tests a robot-assisted training program for the foot and ankle in people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The goal is to improve movement and walking by using special exercises guided by a robotic device.
This study compares how people with stroke, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis walk, especially those with foot drop or trouble lifting the front of the foot. It may help improve walking therapies for people with these conditions.
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 study tests a robotic leg device (Welwalk) that helps people who have had a stroke regain walking ability. It looks at how the robot helps improve leg movement and strength.
This study tests a special shoe that changes friction to help improve walking for people who have had a stroke. It lasts 6 months and involves daily exercises at home.
