Curved walking training for stroke, Parkinson's and hip fracture recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether practicing walking in curved paths can help people recovering from a stroke, Parkinson's disease, or a recent hip fracture improve their balance and mobility. If you have one of these conditions and are in a rehabilitation program, this training might make everyday walking easier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
