Walking training with electrical stimulation and augmented reality for spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new walking therapy that combines electrical muscle stimulation and augmented reality (a computer-generated view) to help people with incomplete spinal cord injury walk better. It may improve how you walk and your overall movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an incomplete spinal cord injury, meaning some feeling or movement remains below the injury level.
- Your injury is between the T10 and L2 vertebrae (mid to lower back).
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You can walk with or without help from a cane, walker, or similar device.
- You do not have severe muscle tightness, pain, joint problems, or any other neurological conditions like stroke or multiple sclerosis.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 a noninvasive electrical stimulation applied to the outside of the body, paired with physical therapy, can improve movement and walking for people with neurologic conditions. You may be asked to complete regular therapy sessions and simple movement tasks while the team measures your progress.
This trial tests whether placing a small device on the spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain the ability to walk. It is designed for those who have had a traumatic injury and still have some movement in their upper body.
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 study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation paired with assisted “FES” cycling can improve walking-related leg movement in people after spinal cord injury. You may be able to take part if you can already walk short distances independently and your injury is stable (non-progressive).
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the spinal area plus robotic gait training can improve walking function in people with a traumatic spinal cord injury who are not walking independently. It’s meant for people with incomplete injuries where some nerve signals still work, and who can safely use the robotic exoskeleton.
