Robot-assisted walking therapy for hip fracture recovery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a robot suit can help older adults walk better after hip fracture surgery. If you are 65 or older and had surgery for a broken hip from a minor fall, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 or older.
- You broke your hip from a minor fall and had surgery for it.
- You have not had a stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, or a muscle-weakening condition like myasthenia gravis.
- Your weight is under 100 kg (220 pounds), and your height fits the robot suit.
- You do not have a serious infection, cancer, blood clot in your leg, pneumonia, or bedsores.
- You are willing to follow instructions and have not joined another research trial in the past 3 months.

This study is testing whether a wearable robotic leg device can help stroke survivors improve their walking and leg function during rehabilitation. If you have had a stroke and can already stand and walk a little, this robot suit may help you regain more strength and mobility.
This trial tests a robot device to help people with leg weakness from stroke, spinal cord injury, or joint surgery improve their walking. It may be a good option if you are medically stable and can work with the robot safely.
This study tests whether using a robot to help fix a broken hip (specifically a type of fracture called intertrochanteric) leads to better recovery. The robot assists the surgeon in placing a metal nail inside the bone to hold it together while it heals.
This trial tests whether a robot can help doctors fix a broken thigh bone (femur) more precisely than standard surgery. If you have a recent, closed thigh bone fracture, this study might help improve your recovery and alignment.
This study tests whether a robotic device that helps you walk can improve movement and function after you've had a severe burn and broken bone in your leg. The robot guides your leg through walking motions while you're healing, and researchers want to see if it helps you regain strength and independence faster.
This study tests a wearable robotic leg brace that helps people with leg weakness practice walking. It aims to see if using the robot improves strength and movement for people recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, or joint replacement surgery.
