Robot training for walking after stroke, spinal injury, or joint surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a robotic walking trainer to help people with leg weakness from stroke, spinal cord injury, or hip/knee surgery improve their ability to walk. If you qualify, you will use a robot device that supports your legs while you practice walking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can walk with some difficulty because of a stroke, a spinal cord injury in the lower back, or a recent hip or knee replacement
- You are between 18 and 60 years old
- Your weight is under 100 kg (about 220 pounds)
- You are healthy enough for physical activity and cleared by your doctor
- You do not have severe muscle tightness, unstable fractures, or an implanted device that might interfere with the robot

This study tests a wearable robotic leg brace that helps people with leg weakness practice walking. It aims to see if using the robot improves strength and movement for people recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, or joint replacement surgery.
This trial tests a robot device to help people with leg weakness from stroke, spinal cord injury, or joint surgery improve their walking. It may be a good option if you are medically stable and can work with the robot safely.
This study tests whether a robotic arm trainer can help improve arm movement and function in people with conditions like stroke, spinal cord injury, or brain injury. It may help you regain strength and control in your arm.
This trial tests a robotic device that helps people move their arms and hands during rehabilitation after a stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury. The goal is to improve arm function and make daily tasks easier.
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.
This trial tests whether early, robot-assisted walking training can help people recovering from a stroke improve their ability to walk. It uses a wearable robotic exoskeleton to support your body and guide your legs during practice.
