Understanding balance and walking after a first stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tracks how balance and walking change over time after a first stroke, using simple tests and wearable sensors. It may help find better ways to help you recover your ability to walk safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first stroke (either from a clot or bleeding), confirmed by brain imaging.
- You are between 21 and 85 years old.
- It has been at least 30 days since your stroke.
- You have trouble walking because of the stroke.
- You can walk on level ground without help, but might need supervision for stairs or uneven surfaces.
- Your thinking and memory are good enough to follow study instructions (score >21 on a quick mental test).

This study follows how stroke survivors’ arm feeling (sensory) and movement (motor) recover over time. It may help clinicians better understand recovery patterns in Asian patients and improve rehabilitation support.
This study tracks how walking and balance improve in the first weeks after a stroke. It uses simple tests to measure your recovery over time, with no experimental treatments.
This study uses special motion-tracking tools to measure balance and trunk control in people with first-time stroke, Parkinson’s, or multiple sclerosis. It aims to understand how these conditions affect stability, which could help tailor rehabilitation.
This study tests a new way to help people recover their walking ability after a first stroke. If you are medically stable and already in rehabilitation, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how therapy and movement training may help people regain walking and compensate after their first stroke. You may be eligible if you are in the early weeks after stroke and are currently in inpatient rehabilitation, with medical clearance to safely participate in exercise.
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.
