Comparing walking in stroke, brain injury, and MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares walking patterns in people with foot drop caused by stroke, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis. The goal is to improve understanding of how these conditions affect walking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a stroke, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis.
- You have foot drop or trouble lifting the front part of your foot when walking.
- You can walk at least 10 meters (about the length of a bus) with or without a cane or walker.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether daily use of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) can improve real-world walking and daily activities for people with multiple sclerosis. FES uses small electrical pulses to help weak leg muscles move.
This study tests two new balance-training programs for people with Multiple Sclerosis. One program combines balance exercises with mild electrical stimulation on the legs, while the other uses walking exercises on a treadmill with special visual feedback. Both aim to improve balance and help your brain make new connections.
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 trial tests a “hybrid” rehab program that combines robot-assisted walking practice with electrical stimulation to help movement after stroke. It may help people improve walking and leg function at home as they work with a caregiver.
This trial studies whether a non-surgical electrical treatment to the spinal area can improve walking and leg control after a stroke. It’s for people who have had a single stroke and still need hands-on support to walk.
This trial tests if a device that uses small electric pulses on the legs can help people who had a stroke more than a year ago improve their balance and walking. It is a pilot study to see if the method works well enough for a larger future study.
