High-intensity walking training for recent brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether high-intensity, treadmill-based step training can improve walking after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help people who are still having trouble with walking speed and can follow instructions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) within the last 6 months
- You are at least 18 years old and can follow instructions
- You can walk about 10 feet with help from no more than two people and/or a brace or assistive device
- Your walking speed is below 1.4 meters per second
- You can safely do treadmill training: your doctor says you’re cleared, and skin where the harness touches is intact
- You score at least 20 on the O-Log (a measure of awareness/cognitive readiness)

This study tests whether listening to rhythmic music beats while walking at home can improve walking speed, balance, and overall well-being after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). It is designed for people who can walk on their own but at a slower pace.
This trial tests whether a supervised aerobic exercise plan is safe and helpful for people recovering from traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help improve physical fitness and functioning through regular walking and aerobic training.
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 study tests whether spinal stimulation (a gentle surface stimulation on your back and legs) combined with walking practice can help improve your mobility after a traumatic brain injury. It's a research treatment that may help you walk better and with more confidence.
This trial tests if graded aerobic exercise can help people who have ongoing symptoms after a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion). It aims to see if carefully increasing exercise intensity improves tolerance to physical activity.
This study tests a new way to help people who have had a stroke or brain injury walk with a more even step. It uses a treadmill that adjusts to your own pace, which may improve your walking symmetry.
