NCT07179627Completed
Ankle Exoskeleton for Stroke Gait Enhancement
Powered Ankle Exoskeleton for Stroke Survivors With Gait Impairment
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 28 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This work will focus on new algorithms for robotic ankle exoskeletons and testing these in human subject tests. Individuals who have previously had a stroke will walk while wearing a robotic exoskeleton on a specialized treadmill as well as during other movement tasks (e.g., overground, stairs, ramps). The study will compare the performance of the advanced algorithm with not using the device to determine the clinical benefit.

Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.
Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Other illness
- Have a significant secondary deficit beyond stroke (e.g. amputation, legal blindness or other severe impairment or condition) that in the opinion of the Principal Investigator (PI), would likely affect the study outcome or confound the results
Other
- Require a walker to walk independently
- Have a shuffling gait pattern overground
- Have a Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) score of 2 or lower, which means you require the assistance of another person in order to walk
- For exoskeleton-only studies, the exoskeleton device does not fit appropriately or safely, as determined by the research team during the fitting assessment.
Who the study is looking for
- Between 18-85 years of age
- Had a stroke at least 6 months prior to study involvement
- Are community dwelling, which means you do not live in an assisted living facility
- Are able to provide informed consent to participate in the study activities
- Can safely participate in the study activities (per self-report)
- Must have a Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) score of 3 or above, which means you can walk without the assistance of another person
Age in the registry: 18 years to 85 years · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
