Closed-loop FES system for improving walking after stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system 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

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests functional electrical stimulation (FES)—a technique that uses mild electrical pulses to help activate arm muscles—combined with training to improve upper limb function and reduce stiffness after stroke. It may help you regain better movement and control in your 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 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 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.
This trial tests whether electrical stimulation of leg muscles, combined with gait training, can help people with incomplete spinal cord injuries walk better. Electrical stimulation works by sending mild electrical pulses to trigger muscle contractions, potentially improving strength and walking ability.
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.
