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.
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 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 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 a home-based walking program for people who have recently had a stroke. It combines behavioral coaching with guided stepping exercises to help improve mobility and confidence when walking after returning home from the hospital.
