Testing a smart insole for walking in people with brain or spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a special insole that measures how you walk, compared with a high-tech walking lab. It's for people with stroke, spinal cord injury, or brain injury who can walk on their own for 6 minutes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a stroke, incomplete spinal cord injury, or acquired brain injury.
- You are being treated at the rehabilitation center of Ghent University Hospital, either as an inpatient or outpatient.
- You can walk on your own for at least 6 minutes without needing someone to help you (like using a walker, but no person).
- You do not have a severe leg injury that affects walking.
- You weigh 120 kg (about 265 lbs) or less.
- You do not have severe dizziness or heart/lung problems that require monitoring during exercise.

This trial tests an advanced device that helps control and use your legs and trunk muscles for movement. It may help people with certain types of paralysis or weakness to improve function, while closely monitoring safety and comfort.
This study tests if combining spinal stimulation with walking training can help people with traumatic brain injury walk better. It might be an option if you have weakness on one side and have been stable for a while.
This trial tests a virtual reality program that combines thinking and walking exercises to help improve your balance and walking speed. It may be a good fit if you have a traumatic brain injury and walk more slowly than usual.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation method (“cortical priming”) can improve walking after a stroke. It may help people with ongoing walking problems improve gait and leg control over a rehabilitation program.
This study uses a special insole you put in your shoe to measure how you walk. It is for adults who feel their walking or balance is not as good as it used to be. The goal is to learn more about walking patterns so doctors can help people like you.
This study checks how a special shoe insole splint affects walking patterns in people recovering from a stroke. It’s looking at gait (walking) measurements to see whether the splint can help safely during physical therapy.
