NCT ID NCT06301542
First seen Apr 04, 2026
Summary
This study tested a wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to help stroke survivors move their legs while walking. Ten adults who had a stroke participated, first in a clinic and later at home. The goal was to see if the device could sense their movement and provide just the right amount of stimulation to improve their gait.
