NCT ID NCT07670325
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a wearable robotic knee device (AKO-R) to help people who have had a stroke walk more symmetrically. Twenty participants will do treadmill and overground walking with the device. Researchers will check safety and measure improvements in step length and stance time symmetry.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
AKO-R wearable robotic knee exoskeleton
What this could lead to
If it works, this device could help stroke survivors walk more naturally and safely during rehab.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early exploratory study with only 20 people. It focuses on safety and feasibility, not proof of effectiveness. The device may not work for everyone.
