What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tested a robotic hip exoskeleton designed to improve walking in people who had a stroke at least six months ago. Twelve participants walked on a treadmill and over ground with and without the device. The main goal was to see how well the exoskeleton's computer predicted hip movements and whether it reduced the energy needed to walk.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Robotic hip exoskeleton (device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this exoskeleton could help stroke survivors walk more easily and with less effort.
What could go wrong
This was a very small, early-stage study (12 people) testing a device algorithm, not a proven treatment. Results may not apply to all stroke survivors.

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

12 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

May 2025

Finished

Aug 2025

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

18 to 85 years

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: * Between 18-85 years of age * Had a stroke at least 6 months prior to study involvement * Are community dwelling, which means the participant does not live in an assisted living facility * Are able to provide informed consent to participate in the study activities * Can safely participate in the study activities (per self-report) * Must have a Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) score of 3 or above, which means the participant can walk without the assistance of another person Exclusion Criteria: * Require a walker to walk independently * Have a shuffling gait pattern overground * Have a Functional Ambulation Category (FAC) score of 2 or lower, which means the participant requires the assistance of another person in order to walk * Have a significant secondary deficit beyond stroke (e.g. amputation, legal blindness or other severe impairment or condition) that in the opinion of the Principal Investigator (PI), would likely affect the study outcome or confound the results * For exoskeleton-only studies, the exoskeleton device does not fit appropriately or safely, as determined by the research team during the fitting assessment.
