Testing muscle signals to predict walking recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at surface muscle electrical signals (from electrodes on the skin) to understand and predict how well your balance and walking may improve after a first stroke. You might benefit by learning more about your recovery and by helping researchers find better ways to track progress.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a first-ever stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel (cerebral infarction)
- You are between 18 and 89 years old
- Your leg/arm muscle strength is moderate (Oxford scale 3 to 5)
- You can walk without another person’s help
- You can understand instructions and communicate with the study team
- You are willing to sign informed consent (your participation is voluntary)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tracks how balance and walking change over time after a first stroke, using simple tests and wearable sensors. It may help find better ways to help you recover your ability to walk safely.
This study tests whether adding a type of electrical stimulation to leg muscles during walking can improve walking ability for people who are at least 6 months past a stroke. If you have weakness on one side and can walk on a treadmill with some help, you may be able to join.
This study checks if new guidelines for placing sensors on leg muscles work well in people who have had a stroke. It could help improve how we measure muscle activity during walking and other movements.
This study tracks how walking and balance improve in the first weeks after a stroke. It uses simple tests to measure your recovery over time, with no experimental treatments.
This study is for people who have had their first stroke and are now recovering. It looks at how your brain uses different senses—like vision and touch—to help you walk and keep your balance. The goal is to find better ways to improve your walking and balance after a stroke.
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.
