Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for people who have had a stroke and need help with movement. Participants will use a special robotic device, sometimes combined with electrical stimulation, to aid in their recovery at home.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I am between 18 and 85 years old.
- I can walk at least 10 meters by myself or with a device.
- I am at least 6 months post stroke.
- I have a caregiver to help me with training at home.
You may not be able to join if
- I have trouble speaking or understanding language.
- I cannot follow multi-step instructions.
- I am in another lower limb rehabilitation program.
- I have severe pain in my paralyzed leg.
- I have more than 30 degrees of ankle contracture.
- I have a pacemaker, spinal cord stimulator, or deep brain stimulator.

About This Trial
The investigators have developed a novel robot-guided stretching under intelligent control and combine it with active movement training, which helped increase joint ROM, reduce spasticity and joint stiffness, increase muscle force output, and improve locomotion. However, for stroke survivors with sensorimotor impairment, their peripheral muscle may not sufficiently be recruited. Functional electri…
