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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 different ways to help improve arm movement after a stroke. It looks at perceptual motor training (which helps with planning and coordinating movements) versus repetitive facilitation exercises (which use repeated, guided movements to retrain the muscles). If you have had a stroke and have mild to moderate arm weakness, this trial may help you regain function.
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 tests a combined motor relearning program and aerobic exercise to improve balance and leg function in people recovering from a stroke that happened 1 to 5 months ago. If you qualify, you would receive this therapy to help with your standing stability and walking ability.
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 looks at how people who have had a stroke perform turning movements, to help improve rehabilitation. You may be eligible if you had a single stroke at least six months ago and can walk with some help.
