Electric foot lift: can a simple device improve walking after brain injury?
NCT ID NCT07492602
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a device called the L300, which uses mild electrical pulses to lift the foot during walking, affects people with stroke, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis. Researchers will measure walking speed, step length, and balance in 90 adults to see if the device helps and if different conditions respond differently. The goal is to learn more about how this treatment works and to create better, personalized rehab plans.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18-80 years. * Diagnosis of stroke, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis confirmed by medical records. * Presence of foot drop or impaired ankle dorsiflexion during gait. * Ability to ambulate at least 10 meters with or without assistive devices. * Cognitive ability to follow simple instructions and provide informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Severe lower limb contractures or orthopedic conditions that limit gait. * Implanted electrical devices (e.g., pacemaker) contraindicating FES use. * Uncontrolled medical conditions (e.g., severe cardiac disease). * Pregnancy. * Skin integrity issues preventing electrode placement. * Participation in other interventional gait studies within the past 3 months.
