Comparison of Gait Metrics in Patients With Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Multiple Sclerosis
United States90 participantsStarted 2026-04-01
Plain-language summary
People with neurological conditions often have difficulty walking, including problems such as foot drop. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a treatment that uses electrical signals to activate muscles and support walking. The L300 device is designed to help lift the foot during each step.
This study will evaluate how using the L300 affects walking performance. Researchers will measure walking speed, step length, and walking symmetry using objective gait assessment tools. The study will also explore whether people with different neurological conditions respond differently to FES.
The goal of this research is to improve understanding of how FES influences walking and to support more personalized rehabilitation approaches.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
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.
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.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
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?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
