Walking with spinal stimulation for stroke survivors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether walking with a type of spinal cord stimulation can help people who have had a stroke and can only walk slowly at home. It aims to improve walking ability and independence.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have had a stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) at least 6 months ago.
- You can walk at home but slowly (less than about 1.5 feet per second) and cannot walk independently outside the home.
- You are not currently doing treadmill walking or weight-bearing exercise programs.
- You have your doctor's approval to exercise and are medically stable.

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 if a special robot suit can help people with chronic stroke improve their walking. If you had a stroke 6 months to 3 years ago and can walk a little with help, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two types of robot-assisted walking training to help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve their walking. It uses a robot to guide leg movements, either focusing on the pelvis or not, to see which works better.
This study tests whether a robot-assisted walking training program can help people who recently had a stroke improve their walking ability. It is for people in the early recovery phase (1 to 3 months after stroke) who already have moderate balance.
This trial compares robot-assisted training to standard training to help people with stroke improve their walking and movement. It is for people who are at least 6 months past their stroke and still have moderate to severe disability.
This trial tests whether early, robot-assisted walking training can help people recovering from a stroke improve their ability to walk. It uses a wearable robotic exoskeleton to support your body and guide your legs during practice.
