NCT ID NCT07333768
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new ankle orthosis (brace) in 4 people with chronic ankle injuries or nerve damage that limits ankle movement. Participants will wear the new brace for one month and compare it to their usual brace or no brace. The goal is to see if the new device improves ankle stability, function, and quality of life.
