Exercise and training to improve walking after chronic stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 18 and 85 years old
- Your stroke was one-sided and happened more than 6 months ago, confirmed by CT or MRI
- You can walk at your usual pace without another person’s help
- Your resting heart rate is between 40 and 100 beats per minute, and your resting blood pressure is within 90/60 to 185/100
- You can communicate with the study team and follow training instructions

This trial tests if high-intensity treadmill training can improve walking speed for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It focuses on those who still walk slowly and may use a walker or cane.
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 tests whether exercising more often (high frequency) or less often (low frequency) helps people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago walk better. You'll do high-intensity walking workouts, and the goal is to see which schedule gives the most improvement.
This study aims to develop a walking exercise program for people who have had a stroke and cannot walk on their own. It will test a treadmill-based program to help improve walking ability.
This study tests whether a 12-week exercise program can help people who have had a stroke walk better. It focuses on those with a slower walking speed and uses brain scans to see if exercise can trigger positive changes in the brain.
This trial studies whether backward walking training can improve balance and walking speed after a stroke. It may help people who still have trouble staying steady or walking quickly during recovery.
