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 new way to help people with spinal cord injury improve their walking. If you have some ankle movement but still need support to walk, you may be able to join.
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 is testing how ankle tightness (spasticity) affects balance and walking ability in people who had a stroke. The goal is to understand how different levels of ankle stiffness impact recovery and function.
This study tracks how balance and walking change over time after a first stroke, using simple tests and wearable sensors. It may help find better ways to help you recover your ability to walk safely.
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.
