NCT ID NCT07091045

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 25, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether robot-assisted foot and ankle training, combined with virtual reality, can help people with chronic stroke walk faster and improve balance. Thirty participants will either receive this robotic therapy or standard manual training, plus usual rehab, for 6 weeks. The main goal is to see if walking speed improves more with the robot-assisted approach.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Robot-assisted foot-ankle sensorimotor training with virtual reality

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a more effective rehabilitation method for improving walking and balance in chronic stroke patients.

What could go wrong

This is a small early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke survivors. The robot-assisted training may not prove significantly better than manual therapy.

Conditions
