Rehab retraining for walking after stroke or brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a rehab program aimed at improving how the brain learns movement, to help people walk more independently after a stroke or traumatic brain injury. It may help by targeting walking and movement control of the affected leg.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have new or ongoing weakness in one leg after a past brain injury like stroke or traumatic brain injury

This trial tests whether adding virtual reality to robot-assisted walking therapy helps people who have had a stroke and cannot walk. It is for patients who had a first stroke in the past 15 days to 6 months.
This study tests whether vibrations applied to the bottom of your feet can help improve walking and balance after stroke. You'll receive plantar vibration therapy (gentle vibrations under your feet) while performing walking and balance exercises to see if it helps your recovery.
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 trial tests a virtual reality program that combines thinking and walking exercises to help improve your balance and walking speed. It may be a good fit if you have a traumatic brain injury and walk more slowly than usual.
This trial studies a sensory-and-movement training approach to help people relearn speech after stroke-related language difficulties. It may help if your type of post-stroke aphasia is mainly non-fluent and you can safely complete brain scans.
This study uses virtual reality to help people who have had a stroke improve their walking. It provides feedback on how you push off with your feet, which may strengthen your walking pattern.
