Observing Achilles Tendon During Walking
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study observes how the Achilles tendon works during walking in people who have had a stroke, a spinal cord injury, or in healthy volunteers. It aims to better understand gait problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 or older).
- You must be able to understand the study and give your consent.
- If you had a stroke, it must have been at least 7 days ago.
- If you have a spinal cord injury, it must be incomplete (you have some feeling or movement) and affect levels C2 to L5.
- Healthy volunteers cannot have any nervous system disorders.

This study tests a leg brace (orthosis) called NEUROSWING to see if it helps people with foot drop or other foot and ankle weakness walk faster. It is a real-world study to support coverage by French health insurance.
This study tests a new way to help people with spinal cord injuries walk better. If you join, you'll practice walking on a treadmill with support, which may improve your strength and speed over time.
This study measures how thigh muscles and knee movements differ when people who had a stroke walk, compared with people without a stroke. It may help design better treatments for stiff-knee walking.
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 study tests whether a brain stimulation method (“cortical priming”) can improve walking after a stroke. It may help people with ongoing walking problems improve gait and leg control over a rehabilitation program.
This study uses motion analysis to understand walking and arm function in adults with certain neurological or metabolic diseases. The goal is to find patterns that help doctors better manage these conditions.
