Foot device for teens with hemiplegia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a foot device called Motus Nova Foot for teenagers with hemiplegia (weakness on one side of the body) that affects walking. The device may help improve foot drop and balance, so they can walk more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 12 and 20 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with hemiplegia (weakness on one side) that affects walking or balance, especially in the foot or ankle.
- You are able to walk and take part in walking and balance tests safely.
- You can follow instructions and use the Motus Nova Foot system at home with family help if needed.
- You agree to avoid standard clinic-based physical therapy during the study.

This study tests whether a noninvasive electrical stimulation applied to the outside of the body, paired with physical therapy, can improve movement and walking for people with neurologic conditions. You may be asked to complete regular therapy sessions and simple movement tasks while the team measures your progress.
This study tests whether combining weight-bearing exercises with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (a mild electrical current that helps muscles move) can improve balance and everyday functional abilities in children aged 6–10 who have hemiplegic cerebral palsy (weakness on one side of the body). It may help improve mobility and independence.
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 trial tests a special walking training that uses sensors and feedback to help children with hemiplegia (weakness on one side of the body) improve their walking. It may help your child walk better and more smoothly.
This study tests a robotic ankle device to help improve walking in people after a stroke who still have foot drop (the foot doesn’t lift well). It may help strengthen or retrain walking patterns during recovery.
This trial tests an advanced device that helps control and use your legs and trunk muscles for movement. It may help people with certain types of paralysis or weakness to improve function, while closely monitoring safety and comfort.
