CUped exercise for arm and leg recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special pedaling exercise called CUped to help people with chronic stroke regain normal walking patterns. You'll come to the lab multiple times over several weeks to see if the training improves how you walk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had only one stroke (not counting mini-strokes or TIAs).
- The stroke is in the outer brain (cortex) or the deep white matter (internal capsule/corona radiata), not the cerebellum or basal ganglia.
- It has been at least 6 months since your stroke.
- You can walk at least 30 feet (10 meters) with or without a cane, walker, or brace.
- You have weakness on one side of your body (hemiparesis) and you use your stronger side more than your weaker side.
- You can commit to 27 visits to Marquette University (pre-, mid-, post-tests, plus 24 training sessions).

This study tests a special cycling exercise program designed to help people who have had a stroke regain arm and leg movement. It aims to see if this focused cycling therapy can improve recovery and reduce healthcare costs.
This early-stage trial tests a special exercise approach meant to “prime” the brain and improve arm movement after a stroke. You may be eligible if you’re 6+ months out from a one-sided stroke and can safely do an exercise test.
This study aims to develop a walking exercise program for people who have had a stroke and cannot walk on their own. It will test a treadmill-based program to help improve walking ability.
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 a rehabilitation program for people who still have arm or leg trouble after a stroke. It aims to see if intensive daily training can improve movement and function.
This study looks at whether a specific exercise program can help people with chronic stroke (more than 6 months ago) who still have some weakness in their leg. It aims to improve walking and overall physical ability.
