Phase N/A

This study focuses on helping people walk better after a stroke. **Stroke** is when the blood flow to the brain is blocked, causing difficulties in movement. This research looks at two ways to improve walking: **Fast** treadmill walking and **FastFES**, which combines treadmill walking with electrical stimulation to help muscles move better. The study aims to find out who benefits most from these treatments.

Participants must have had a stroke at least 6 months ago, be able to walk 10 meters, and have good heart and ankle health. The study involves 12 sessions and evaluates walking abilities at different times.

  • **Study Length**: 12 sessions with follow-ups.
  • **Visits**: Several, including baseline, during, and after treatments.
  • **Treatment**: Treadmill walking, with or without electrical stimulation.

Some conditions like a different type of stroke or inability to walk may exclude you from participating. The study helps researchers develop personalized treatments to improve walking after a stroke.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
