Functional training for turning after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding functional muscle training to turning-specific exercises helps people who have had a stroke turn more easily. It may benefit those who can walk with supervision and have no major memory or other neurological problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 60 years old.
- You had a stroke (not caused by bleeding) more than 6 months ago.
- You can walk with someone watching (Functional Ambulation Category score of 3).
- Your memory and thinking are good (score of 25 or higher on a mental exam).
- You do not have epilepsy, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or other dementia.

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 compares two types of physical therapy to help people regain trunk control and balance after a stroke. Participants will receive either PNF (a hands-on technique using rhythmic movements) or NDT (another hands-on technique focusing on movement patterns) to improve stability.
This study compares two types of physical therapy exercises to see which one better helps stroke survivors improve trunk control, balance, and daily activities. It may be a good fit if you had an ischemic stroke and are between 6 months and 1.5 years into recovery.
This study compares two types of arm exercises to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It aims to find which exercise approach is better for recovery.
This trial tests whether combining pelvic PNF (a therapy that uses specific patterns to improve movement) with trunk training can help people with chronic stroke walk better and improve balance.
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.
