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 a robot that helps your ankle move in a way that exaggerates mistakes can improve your walking. It is for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have weakness or difficulty walking.
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 “hybrid” rehab program that combines robot-assisted walking practice with electrical stimulation to help movement after stroke. It may help people improve walking and leg function at home as they work with a caregiver.
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.
