Rehab training for ankle and leg function after a stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a sensory-motor rehabilitation program to improve movement of the ankle and affected leg after a first stroke. It may help people regain safer, more controlled walking and leg movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your stroke was your first one, on one side of the body, and happened within the last 24 hours to 1 year
- You currently have weakness or paralysis on one side (hemiplegia or hemiparesis)
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- Your ankle is impaired (not normal or only very mildly affected)
- You can safely take part in moderate movement exercises (no unstable or severe heart problems)
- You can understand and follow instructions during training

This study tests whether gentle leg exercises can help people recovering from a recent stroke. The focus is on improving ankle movement and strength on the weak side.
This trial tests a treatment to help your brain recover after a stroke. It focuses on improving ankle movement and leg strength using exercises that promote brain rewiring.
This study tests whether exercise plus motor learning training can improve walking and movement after a stroke that happened more than 6 months ago. You may be a good candidate if you can walk on your own and your stroke-related brain injury is not mainly in the cerebellum.
This trial tests a robot-assisted training program for the foot and ankle in people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The goal is to improve movement and walking by using special exercises guided by a robotic device.
This study tests whether a program using local vibrations on the muscles in the front of your ankle can improve leg nerve and movement recovery after stroke. It may help people who have weak ankle lifting during the weeks to months after stroke.
This study tests if a hands-on ankle treatment can improve your sense of where your ankle is in space (proprioception) after a stroke. It looks at how well you can feel and control your ankle movement.
