Stroke survivors may walk better with muscle retraining device

NCT ID NCT07041775

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a training method called MINT that helps stroke survivors reduce abnormal muscle co-activation in their legs. The goal is to improve walking speed and endurance. Researchers will enroll 72 adults who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have moderate to severe walking problems. Participants will use a myoelectric interface to learn better muscle control.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

myoelectric interface for neurorehabilitation (MINT) conditioning

What this could lead to

If it works, this could lead to a new therapy that helps stroke survivors walk faster and farther by retraining muscle control.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study with only 72 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training is non-invasive but may not improve walking for all.
