Closed-loop FES system for improving walking after stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a new electrical stimulation system that adapts in real time to help people who have had a stroke walk better. It may improve your step and make walking feel more natural.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your stroke happened at least 6 months ago
- Your stroke affected the outer part of your brain or deeper areas (cortical or subcortical)
- You can walk 10 meters with or without a cane or walker
- Your heart and ankle are healthy enough to walk on a treadmill without a brace
- You have enough ankle flexibility to benefit from electrical stimulation that lifts your foot

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 trial tests a “hybrid” rehab program that combines robot-assisted walking practice with electrical stimulation to help movement after stroke. It may help people improve walking and leg function at home as they work with a caregiver.
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 compares two treatments—electrical stimulation and mirror therapy—to help people who had a stroke within the last 6 months lift their foot better when walking. The goal is to improve foot clearance and reduce trips or falls.
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 whether daily use of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) can improve real-world walking and daily activities for people with multiple sclerosis. FES uses small electrical pulses to help weak leg muscles move.
