Balance-feedback ankle rehab after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests an ankle-foot exercise and training program that gives you balance feedback to improve walking after stroke. It may help reduce foot drop and improve balance and safe walking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your stroke started at least 6 months ago
- You can understand and follow simple instructions (MMSE score above 21)
- You have mild-to-moderate weakness in the affected leg with foot drop, but you can stand and walk without someone physically helping you
- Your leg motor function score is low enough (Fugl-Meyer lower-limb score under 20)
- You can walk at a high enough level for the study (Functional Ambulatory Category 4 or higher) and have good balance (Berg Balance Scale 40 or higher)
- You do not have severe ankle stiffness/spasticity (Modified Ashworth score 3 or less)

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.
This early-stage study tests a multisensory therapy to help people with ongoing balance problems stand more safely after a stroke. It may help your balance by giving targeted feedback to the foot and ankle while you practice standing.
This study tests a special balance and walking training program for people who have had a stroke. It aims to help improve balance while walking, which may help you move more safely and independently.
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 compares two different exercise-based therapies to see which one helps stroke survivors improve balance and walking better. It is for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk a short distance with or without help.
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.
