Tai Chi and Cycling for Recent Stroke Recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if combining Tai Chi with cycling exercises helps people who had a stroke within the last 3 months improve their balance and walking ability. It may be a good fit if you are between 50 and 65 years old and can walk a short distance with or without help.

This study compares two types of gentle balance exercises (Tai Chi and Frenkel's exercises) to see which one helps people recover better after a stroke. It is for stroke survivors who are 50+ and at least 3 months past their stroke.
This study compares two types of walking and balance exercises for people who had a stroke 6 to 12 months ago. It aims to see which type of practice helps improve balance and walking best.
This trial tests whether combining corrective exercises with rhythmic music (auditory cues) helps people recover better balance, walking ability, and quality of life after a stroke. The goal is to see if music-guided movement improves recovery more than exercise alone.
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 study tests whether a sitting tai chi program can help people who've had a stroke and are experiencing memory or thinking problems. You would learn tai chi movements while sitting, with your caregiver also participating in the program.
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.
