Ankle robot training to improve walking after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a robot that helps your ankle move in a way that exaggerates mistakes can improve your walking. It is for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have weakness or difficulty walking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke more than 6 months ago
- You have weakness on one side of your body that affects how you walk
- Your ankle muscles on the affected side have some strength, but not normal strength (from a trace to a moderate amount)
- You can walk 10 meters on your own (with or without a cane or walker) but your walking speed is slower than normal
- You do not have severe heart, lung, or kidney problems, active cancer, or other conditions that prevent you from walking
- You have not had recent Botox injections in your legs within the last 3 months

This study tests whether robot-assisted walking training helps people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It aims to improve walking ability and leg movement for those still having some walking difficulty.
This trial tests a treatment to help your brain recover after a stroke. It focuses on improving ankle movement and leg strength using exercises that promote brain rewiring.
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 study tests whether gentle leg exercises can help people recovering from a recent stroke. The focus is on improving ankle movement and strength on the weak side.
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 tests a robot-assisted training program for the foot and ankle in people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The goal is to improve movement and walking by using special exercises guided by a robotic device.
