Turning ability after stroke study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how people who have had a stroke perform turning movements, to help improve rehabilitation. You may be eligible if you had a single stroke at least six months ago and can walk with some help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether special balance exercises (vestibular training) can help people who have had a stroke walk more safely and reduce their risk of falling in the community. It may be a good fit if you had a first stroke at least 6 months ago and can walk short distances.
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.
This study tests alternative therapies to help improve physical abilities like walking, balance, and arm/leg function after a stroke. It may help if you can follow instructions and safely participate in supervised movement exercises.
This trial studies a more intensive, early walking exercise program after a stroke. It may help improve walking speed, balance, and the ability to move safely with less support.
This trial looks at backward walking ability in people who have had a stroke. It aims to understand what factors are related to this skills. You may be able to join if you can walk a short distance without help and meet a few other health requirements.
