Visual training before robot-assisted walking for stroke survivors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special visual training program before using a walking robot can improve walking recovery in people who have had a stroke or similar brain injury within the last 6 months and have trouble sensing their affected side. If you join, you might get this extra visual practice to help your brain relearn movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You had a stroke or similar brain injury within the last 6 months, causing weakness on one side and difficulty feeling that side.
- You are alert and oriented (know where you are, what time it is, and who you are).
- You are able to cooperate with therapy and are medically stable.
- You can control your trunk while standing (e.g., sit or stand with support).
- You do not have severe memory or thinking problems, and you can communicate (no severe aphasia).
- You meet safety requirements for using a walking robot (e.g., no severe spasticity, no unhealed fractures, no severe heart or lung conditions).

This trial uses a mobile brain and body imaging system to help improve walking with a robotic exoskeleton in people who have had a stroke. It could help you walk better during overground gait training.
This study tests a robotic device (SHAJA-R exoskeleton) that helps move your hips during walking. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago and still have some trouble walking, but can walk a little with or without help.
This Phase 1 trial tests a robotic exoskeleton device that helps stroke survivors practice walking. It may help you relearn walking safely and see whether the device is workable for your body and needs.
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.
This trial tests a “human–machine” leg exoskeleton system to help people with stroke improve standing and walking during rehab. You may be able to participate if you have certain levels of disability and spasticity, can safely stand and walk with help, and don’t have skin, joint, or medical issues that would make training unsafe.
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.
