Vibration therapy to help leg recovery after subacute stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a program using local vibrations on the muscles in the front of your ankle can improve leg nerve and movement recovery after stroke. It may help people who have weak ankle lifting during the weeks to months after stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke (bleeding or blocked blood vessel) and are in rehab between 14 days and 3 months after the stroke
- Your lower leg/ankle lifting is weak (your muscle strength score is below 4 out of 5)
- You do not have another past neurological problem that would affect function, besides this stroke
- You can (or your guardian can) sign consent after you are told about the study
- You can join through your local social security plan (or be covered/entitled)

This trial studies whether regular muscle vibration can reduce post-stroke muscle stiffness and improve how the brain and nerves adapt. If you’re in the right stage after stroke, it may help improve arm and hand movement.
This study tests whether a short, gentle vibration applied to your leg muscles can improve how your nerves and muscles work together. It might help find a simple, low-effort way to keep muscles healthy.
This study tests if a short, local vibration treatment can help stroke patients with leg spasticity (tightness in the calf muscle) improve walking. If you have had a stroke and have mild to moderate spasticity in your lower leg, you may be able to join.
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 trial tests a small vibrating device worn on the skin to help your brain recover better after a stroke. It may improve movement in your arm or leg without needing surgery or medicine.
This trial tests if adding a gentle vibrator to standard muscle-stimulation therapy can improve leg movement in people recovering from a stroke. It's for those who had a stroke 2 weeks to 3 months ago and have mild to moderate thinking and movement issues.
