NCT ID NCT07492602

First seen Apr 07, 2026 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at how a device that sends small electrical signals to leg muscles (called functional electrical stimulation, or FES) affects walking in 90 adults with stroke, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis who have foot drop. Researchers will measure walking speed, step length, and balance before and after using the device. The goal is to learn how different conditions respond to FES and help create more personalized walking therapies.
