Electrical stimulation study for better walking in older adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device can help improve leg strength and walking in older adults living at home. If you are between 65 and 75 years old and can walk with or without a cane or walker, you may be able to join.

This study tests whether combining electrical muscle stimulation (a gentle electrical current applied to muscles) with light resistance exercises can help adults over 65 build stronger leg muscles and improve their ability to walk and move around.
This trial tests whether a leg exercise program with or without mild electrical stimulation can improve leg strength and mobility in healthy older women. It may help you stay active and independent.
This study tests if whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise helps improve nerve signals to muscles in older adults. It compares older participants (65+) with younger ones (18-39) to see how this type of exercise affects muscle activation.
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 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 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.
