Improving walking after stroke
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new approach to improve walking in people who have lasting stiffness after a stroke. It aims to help you walk more naturally and with less effort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and have been diagnosed with a stroke (either caused by a clot or bleeding) at least 6 months ago.
- You have stiffness (spasticity) on one side of your body that affects how you walk, causing a tip-toe gait or a leg-swinging motion.
- You are able to walk (even with aids) and are not dependent on a wheelchair or bed.
- You have no foot problems like an open wound, a bunion, or a stiff big toe that could interfere.
- You have a French health insurance card and are on a long-term care (ALD) plan with full reimbursement.
- You agree to give written consent after a full medical exam.

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 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 whether exercise plus motor learning training can improve walking and movement after a stroke that happened more than 6 months ago. You may be a good candidate if you can walk on your own and your stroke-related brain injury is not mainly in the cerebellum.
This study tests a robotic leg device (Welwalk) that helps people who have had a stroke regain walking ability. It looks at how the robot helps improve leg movement and strength.
This trial tests whether virtual reality plus field (real-world) practice can improve walking and related thinking/vision skills after stroke. It may help you walk more safely and confidently in everyday community settings (like getting around outdoors).
This study tests a wearable robot (exoskeleton) that helps you walk better after a stroke. You might benefit if you can already walk on your own but want to improve your walking ability.
