Exoskeleton for balance after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether wearing a robotic exoskeleton can help improve balance and reduce falls in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and still have leg weakness. It may be a good fit if you are worried about falling and can walk on a treadmill without a cane or walker.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have weakness in one leg.
- You are 21 years or older.
- You have fallen in the past year or are afraid of falling.
- You can walk on a treadmill without using a cane or walker.
- You can follow simple instructions and answer questions about your balance.
- You do not have serious heart problems, uncontrolled diabetes, or recent blood clots.

This study tests if a wearable robotic leg brace (an exoskeleton) can help people who have had a stroke walk better. It is for stroke survivors who are at least 6 months past their stroke and can already walk without help from another person.
This trial tests a “human–machine” leg exoskeleton system to help people with stroke improve standing and walking during rehab. You may be able to participate if you have certain levels of disability and spasticity, can safely stand and walk with help, and don’t have skin, joint, or medical issues that would make training unsafe.
This trial studies whether assisted walking training with an exoskeleton can improve recovery after stroke, especially for walking and daily function. You may be offered therapy once you are medically stable, able to stand, and able to participate safely.
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.
This study tests a robotic leg suit (exosuit) to help improve walking after a stroke. You may be eligible if you had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have trouble walking safely.
This trial tests whether using a wearable robotic device at home can improve walking ability in people who have had a stroke. If you have trouble walking due to a stroke, this study may help you regain strength and mobility.
