Improving physical function after stroke using alternative therapies
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests alternative therapies to help improve physical abilities like walking, balance, and arm/leg function after a stroke. It may help if you can follow instructions and safely participate in supervised movement exercises.

This trial tests whether virtual reality plus field (real-world) practice can improve walking and related thinking/vision skills after stroke. It may help you walk more safely and confidently in everyday community settings (like getting around outdoors).
This study tests whether watching virtual reality videos of arm movements can help improve arm function after a stroke. It may be a good fit if you have some movement in your affected arm and can follow instructions.
This study tests if using a virtual reality headset during walking exercises can help people who had a stroke within the past 1 to 6 months improve their walking. You might be able to join if you can walk a bit but still need help or practice, and your doctor approves.
This study tests whether virtual reality (an immersive computer game) can help improve your walking after a stroke. You will use a VR headset while walking on a treadmill to make rehab more engaging and effective.
This study tests whether adaptive dance activities can help people in early stroke recovery regain movement and function. You would participate in dance-based exercises during your hospital stay as part of your stroke care.
This trial tests whether robotic devices, virtual reality, or augmented reality can improve walking and balance during treadmill training for people who have had a single stroke. It aims to make rehab more engaging and effective.
