Ankle Exoskeleton for Stroke Gait Enhancement

Ankle exoskeleton trial to help improve walking after stroke.

Recruiting
18-85 years
All
Phase N/A

This study tests a **robotic ankle exoskeleton** to help people walk better after a **stroke** (damage to the brain from a lack of blood flow). The **exoskeleton** is a special device worn on the leg, like a robotic boot, that helps with movement. The study uses a computer program, or **algorithm**, to make the device work better for each person. Participants will try walking with and without the exoskeleton on a treadmill and other surfaces like stairs and ramps. This helps researchers see if the exoskeleton improves walking.

  • Participants must be 18 to 85 years old and have had a stroke at least 6 months ago.
  • The study involves walking on a treadmill and other surfaces, with and without the exoskeleton.
  • Participants should not need a walker and must be able to walk without another person's help.

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.
