What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a powered exoskeleton can help stroke survivors walk with better balance. Twenty-one people who had a stroke at least six months ago will walk on a treadmill with and without the exoskeleton at different support levels. Researchers will measure how well the device helps control side-to-side sway and step placement.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
assistive exoskeleton
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a wearable device that helps stroke survivors walk more steadily and safely.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study (21 people) testing different settings, not a final product. It may not lead to a practical device or show clear benefit.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 21 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

May 2026

Expected to finish

Jun 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

21 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Evidence of a stroke at least 6 months prior to participation * Evidence of dysfunction of the paretic lower limb (Fugl-Meyer lower extremity motor score \< 34) * At least 21 years of age * Self-reported experience of a fall in the previous year, and/or a fear of falling * Gait speed of at least 0.2 m/s * Ability to walk on a treadmill without a cane or walker * Ability to follow three step commands and communicate with experimenters to answer questions (e.g., regarding their balance confidence) * Provision of informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Resting blood pressure higher than 220/110 mm Hg * History of unstable cardiac arrhythmias, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, severe aortic stenosis, angina or dyspnea at rest or during activities of daily living * Preexisting neurological orders or dementia * Legal blindness or severe visual impairment * Presence of neglect * History of DVT or pulmonary embolism within 6 months * Uncontrolled diabetes with recent weight loss, diabetic coma, or frequent insulin reactions * Orthopedic injuries or conditions (e.g., joint replacements) in the lower extremities with the potential to alter the gait pattern
