Walking recovery after stroke: high-intensity treadmill training
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if high-intensity treadmill training can improve walking speed for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It focuses on those who still walk slowly and may use a walker or cane.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 85 years old.
- You had a stroke (clot or bleed) that caused weakness on one side, at least 6 months ago.
- You can walk at least 30 feet (10 meters) on flat ground using a walker, cane, or other device, but you need someone nearby just in case.
- You can walk on a treadmill at a slow speed (about the pace of a very slow shuffle) for at least 3 minutes.
- You have not had more than 3 total hours of fast treadmill walking in the past year.

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 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 study tests whether a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program—short bursts of intense exercise with rest periods—can help improve walking, balance, and daily function in people who have had a stroke. It is for adults who are 50 to 80 years old, had their first stroke 1 to 5 years ago, and can walk at least 10 meters on their own.
This study looks at how we measure the effort of walking in people who have had a stroke and still walk slowly. It may help understand your walking and guide better treatments.
This study compares two types of walking exercises to see which one helps people with chronic stroke improve their walking ability. You would join a training program that focuses on either everyday tasks or high-intensity walking practice.
This trial studies whether doing high-intensity exercise helps people recover walking and other skills better than usual therapy after a stroke. It is for people who are already in a rehabilitation hospital and can walk a short distance with help.
