Personalized Post-Stroke Gait Rehabilitation Interventions
Wearable Gait Interventions for Augmenting Paretic Propulsion: Towards Personalized Post-Stroke Gait Rehabilitation
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 8 Oct 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The objective of this study is to understand whether certain post-stroke patient subsets, identified from clinical, biomechanical, and neuromuscular characteristics, preferentially respond to different walking rehabilitation interventions that augment paretic limb propulsion (e.g., soft robotic exosuits or electrical stimulation neuroprostheses). The results of this work could improve post-stroke gait recovery outcomes by informing clinical decision-making to better match patients with rehabilitation devices tailored to their specific gait characteristics.
