Robot and electrical zaps at home could boost stroke recovery
NCT ID NCT04550728
First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study is testing whether a home-based ankle robot, with or without functional electrical stimulation (FES), can improve leg movement and walking in people who have had a stroke. The trial will include 60 participants who are at least 6 months post-stroke and can walk a short distance with help. The goal is to see if this combination of technologies can be used effectively at home to aid recovery.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
ankle robot training and functional electrical stimulation (FES)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective home-based rehabilitation option to improve leg function and walking ability in chronic stroke survivors.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke survivors. The home-based setting may also affect consistency of training.
