Phase N/A
**Adaptive Hip Exoskeleton for Stroke Gait Enhancement** This study tests a new robotic device, called an exoskeleton, which is worn on the hip to help people walk better after having a stroke. Strokes can affect how people walk, making them slower and less steady. The exoskeleton uses AI, or artificial intelligence, to adapt to each person's walking style. This means it can help them walk more evenly and confidently. During the study, participants will walk on a treadmill and do other activities like climbing stairs, with and without the exoskeleton, to see how well it works. The goal is to improve walking abilities and independence for stroke survivors. **Key Points:** - **Study Length:** Participants will walk with the exoskeleton on various surfaces and compare results with and without it. - **Eligibility:** Participants should be 18-85 years old, have had a stroke at least 6 months ago, and be able to walk without help from another person. - **Safety & Comfort:** The exoskeleton must fit safely and comfortably for the study, and participants should not need a walker or have other major disabilities.

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.
