FES suit for recovery after injury or amputation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a special suit that uses mild electrical stimulation to help improve muscle strength, walking, and body functions. It may help people who are at least one week past an amputation or a nervous system injury like stroke or spinal cord injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- At least one week since amputation, brain injury, stroke, or spinal cord injury
- Stable enough to take part in rehabilitation
- Able to follow a three-step command (like "stand up, walk, and sit down")
- No pacemaker, defibrillator, or other implanted medical device that cannot be turned off
- No active infection, fever, inflammation, cancer, or blood clot
- No epilepsy or seizure in the last 6 months

This study uses electrical stimulation to help reduce leg stiffness, improve muscle strength, and make it easier to move and walk for people with paraplegia.
This trial studies which kind of electrical muscle stimulation (FES) exercise training works best for people after a spinal cord injury. It may help improve leg muscle activation and training after SCI by comparing different training approaches.
This trial tests a home-based device that uses small electrical pulses to help activate weak leg muscles after a stroke. It aims to improve walking and leg strength, and uses a smartphone app for remote guidance.
This trial tests a device that uses gentle electrical stimulation and visual cues to help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury. It may help you regain some function in your affected limb.
This study tests a therapy using small electrical pulses to help people who have had a stroke move their arm and hand better. It is for people who already receive Botox injections for muscle tightness and have some movement in their arm.
This study tests a device that uses mild electrical pulses and augmented reality (a computer overlay on real life) to help people who have arm or hand weakness after a recent stroke or brain injury regain movement.
