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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 small, wearable sensor (FOX HiKoB) to measure foot movement in 29 stroke survivors who have foot drop. The goal was to see if the sensor could accurately detect when the foot lifts, which could then trigger electrical stimulation to help lift the foot. The sensor was compared to a standard motion-capture system. If accurate, this technology could lead to smarter, more natural walking assistance for people after a stroke.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If the sensor proves accurate, it could lead to better, more responsive electrical stimulation devices to help stroke survivors walk more naturally.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study focused on measurement accuracy, not treatment. The sensor may not work well for all patients or in real-world conditions.
