Improving walking in stroke survivors with leg spasticity
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a method to improve the walking pattern of stroke survivors who have leg spasticity (tight muscles) and a specific abnormal way of walking. If you had a stroke at least 6 months ago and still have trouble walking due to spasticity, this study may help you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have French health insurance (carte vitale) and are on ALD (100% reimbursement for a long-term condition)
- You had a stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) at least 6 months ago, and your condition is stable with a Rankin score of 2 to 4 (moderate disability)
- You have spasticity on one side of your body that affects your walking, causing a tip-toe gait and a 'mowing wheat-like' leg movement
- You can walk (not wheelchair or bedridden)
- You have had a full medical check-up before the study and can give written consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a device called SURA that stimulates feeling in the ankle after a stroke. It may help people who have foot drop or trouble lifting their foot while walking.
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 study checks if new guidelines for placing sensors on leg muscles work well in people who have had a stroke. It could help improve how we measure muscle activity during walking and other movements.
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.
This study tests a special shoe that changes friction to help improve walking for people who have had a stroke. It lasts 6 months and involves daily exercises at home.
This trial tests if a special robot suit can help people with chronic stroke improve their walking. If you had a stroke 6 months to 3 years ago and can walk a little with help, you may be able to join.
