Biofeedback gait training for stroke survivors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special gait training program with biofeedback (real-time information about your walking) can improve walking quality in people who have had a stroke. It may help you walk better and more naturally.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had only one stroke in your life.
- It has been at least 6 months since your stroke.
- You can walk, but may need some help, and you are at a level where you can walk in therapy (Functional Ambulation Category score of 3 or higher).
- Your affected hip can extend (move backward) at least 10 degrees without help.
- You have no major memory or thinking problems (Mini-Mental State score of 24 or higher).
- You do not have severe tightness of your affected ankle muscles (Modified Ashworth Scale score less than 2) and the muscle strength of those muscles is not too weak (Manual Muscle Testing score greater than 1).

This study tests a special walking feedback system (like a video game for your legs) for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It aims to improve walking quality, such as how smoothly and evenly you step.
This study tests a trainer-guided system to help people who've had a stroke improve their walking. It's designed for those who can already walk without assistance but need further recovery of leg movement.
This study tests whether a robot-assisted walking training program can help people who recently had a stroke improve their walking ability. It is for people in the early recovery phase (1 to 3 months after stroke) who already have moderate balance.
This study uses a special brain-scanning technique to guide video feedback training for people who have had a stroke, aiming to improve walking ability. It is for those who can move their legs a little and understand instructions.
This program tests a special walking training (BOOST GAIT) for people who have had a first stroke and are still learning to walk again. It aims to help you walk better and be more active in daily life.
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.
