Comparative Study of LoKomat® Exoskeleton VS C-Mill® Treadmill for Gait Recovery in Rehabilitation.
Spain40 participantsStarted 2025-12-09
Plain-language summary
The use of robotic technology for the treatment of gait in neurological pathologies has provided different results in scientific evidence. In patients with some types of acquired brain damage, such as stroke, the use of Lokomat® therapy can bring improvements in aspects such as gait speed and balance, among other parameters and report greater functional recovery in subacute patients with greater deterioration. Similarly, the use of another technological element such as the C-Mill® reports improvements in various aspects of ambulation and balance in gait treatments for stroke patients. Likewise, the impact on the person's recovery is not only beneficial for gait rehabilitation, but also improves the perception of well-being, which can be positive in the process of readaptation to daily life.
The effect of both treatments for gait rehabilitation in adults with stroke and their impact on quality of life in the neurorehabilitation clinic will be studied.
adults with stroke and their impact on quality of life at the Lescer neurorehabilitation clinic Lescer, Madrid (Spain). Participants will be assessed at baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial compares two specific devices — the Lokomat exoskeleton and the C-Mill treadmill — for helping stroke survivors walk again; given my particular type and severity of stroke, which of these two approaches, if either, might be more appropriate for where I am in my recovery?
2Since this trial is measuring spasticity as a primary outcome, and spasticity affects people differently after stroke, can you help me understand how my current level of spasticity might affect whether this study is a good fit for me to even discuss with the research team?
3This trial is listed as Phase NA, which often means it's comparing existing therapies rather than testing a brand-new treatment — does that change the risk profile compared to a typical drug trial, and what are the potential downsides of using either of these robotic or treadmill devices in my situation?
4The trial is also measuring quality of life as a primary outcome, which is important to me — but since results aren't in yet, what does the existing evidence say about how the Lokomat or C-Mill treadmill compares to standard physiotherapy for improving daily life after stroke?
5Given that this study is actively recruiting right now, what would my time commitment look like week to week if I were to discuss participation with the research team, and would joining this trial mean I'd have to pause or give up any standard rehabilitation I'm already receiving?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
