Multisensory training to improve standing balance after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two types of physical therapy to help stroke patients improve balance, sensation in their legs, and confidence walking. The goal is to see which approach works better for people recovering from stroke.
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 doing balance exercises while performing mental tasks together can help stroke survivors improve their stability and walking ability. Many stroke patients struggle with balance, and this training aims to help them regain confidence and reduce fall risk.
This study tests two different ways to help people recover balance and walking ability after stroke. You'll do either sensorimotor training (exercises focused on body awareness and coordination) or dual-task training (exercises that combine physical movements with mental tasks), and researchers will measure which approach works better.
This study tests a balance training program to help people who had a stroke walk safely in their community and reduce falls. It may improve your confidence and safety when walking outside.
This trial tests if a device that uses small electric pulses on the legs can help people who had a stroke more than a year ago improve their balance and walking. It is a pilot study to see if the method works well enough for a larger future study.
