Exercise rehab with added movement retraining after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a specific movement-retraining method (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) to heart-and-lung style exercise improves recovery after stroke. It focuses on people who still have one-sided weakness and can already walk a short distance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke caused by a blockage (ischemic) or bleeding (hemorrhagic).
- Your stroke happened more than 6 months ago and you still have one-sided weakness (hemiparesis).
- You can think and follow instructions well enough for a brief memory/thinking check (MMSE).
- You can walk 10 meters by yourself, possibly using a cane or other assistive device.
- Your other brain or bone/joint problems don’t interfere, unless they are directly related to your stroke.
- You do not have known lung disease, and you are not a current smoker or recent/former smoker.

This study tests if adding breathing exercises to physical therapy helps people who had a stroke 3 to 6 months ago. It focuses on walking and lung strength to improve recovery.
This trial studies a more intensive, early walking exercise program after a stroke. It may help improve walking speed, balance, and the ability to move safely with less support.
This study looks at whether a specific exercise program can help people with chronic stroke (more than 6 months ago) who still have some weakness in their leg. It aims to improve walking and overall physical ability.
This trial tests whether combining two types of therapy—guided movement exercises and mild electrical stimulation of muscles—can help people recover strength and movement after a stroke. If you've had a recent stroke and can walk a little, this study may help you regain function.
This trial tests a home-based exercise program (via video or app) to help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some physical weakness. It aims to improve strength and movement without needing to travel to a clinic.
This trial studies a supervised cardiac rehabilitation program for people after they have had a stroke. It may help improve heart-related fitness and recovery safety after stroke, especially for patients who need a tailored rehab approach.
