Vibrating leg device to improve walking after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a small vibrating device worn on the leg that gives you gentle buzzes to help you walk better after a stroke. It may improve your balance and confidence when walking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You had a single stroke on one side of your brain at least 6 months ago, and it left you with weakness on one side of your body.
- You can walk on your own, with or without a cane.
- You have some movement in your hip and ankle on the affected side (able to lift your thigh and bend your foot up).
- You haven’t had a fall or unexplained dizziness in the last 6 months, and you don’t have other major health issues like heart failure, COPD, or severe circulation problems.

This study tests whether wearing small vibrating devices on your arm can help improve movement and function in the arm weakened by stroke. The vibrations may help retrain your brain and muscles to work together better during the recovery period.
This study tests whether vibrations applied to the bottom of your feet can help improve walking and balance after stroke. You'll receive plantar vibration therapy (gentle vibrations under your feet) while performing walking and balance exercises to see if it helps your recovery.
This study tests a rehab program aimed at improving how the brain learns movement, to help people walk more independently after a stroke or traumatic brain injury. It may help by targeting walking and movement control of the affected leg.
This study uses a special brain-scanning technique to guide video feedback training for people who have had a stroke, aiming to improve walking ability. It is for those who can move their legs a little and understand instructions.
This study tests whether vagus nerve stimulation (a small device that stimulates a nerve in your neck) combined with rehabilitation therapy can help improve walking and leg function in stroke survivors. You would be one of the first to try this combination approach for stroke recovery.
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.
