NCT ID NCT06459401
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a wearable device that uses mild electrical stimulation to help people who have had a stroke walk better. Ten participants with chronic stroke walked on a treadmill and overground with and without the device. The goal was to see if the stimulation could improve walking speed and make their steps more even. The results will help design better rehabilitation tools.
