Electrical stimulation device for walking rehab after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had your first (and only) stroke.
- Your stroke happened at least 6 months ago but no more than 12 months ago.
- You can walk with the help of one person or with a walking aid, but not on your own.
- Your leg muscles respond to electrical stimulation (a small device that uses gentle electrical pulses to help muscles move).
- You are willing to wait on getting botox or other muscle relaxant treatments until after the study's rehabilitation period.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a treatment called deep brain stimulation, which uses small electrical pulses to help the brain control movement better after a stroke. It aims to improve walking and arm use in people who have not recovered enough with standard 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 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 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 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.
This study tests whether adding electrical muscle stimulation to a walking and movement program helps stroke survivors walk better, become more independent, and improve their quality of life.
