Breathing, balance, and walking after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.

This study tests whether simple breathing exercises can help strengthen the muscles used for breathing after a stroke. It might be a good fit if you are an adult stroke survivor who can follow instructions and does not have other lung or muscle problems.
This study tests how breathing muscle strength, balance, and trunk control relate to daily function after a stroke. It aims to help you recover better.
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise (inspiratory muscle training) can help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago walk better. You will do breathing exercises while also working on your walking, to see if it improves your speed and balance.
This study tests if breathing muscle training can help improve breathing, balance, walking ability, and quality of life in people who had a stroke in the past 1 to 12 months. It is designed for those who can walk at least 10 meters and do not have severe facial weakness or cognitive problems.
This study tests whether combining rhythmic breathing exercises with balance training can improve balance and trunk control in people recovering from stroke. You'll participate in structured exercises designed to help you regain stability and core strength.
This study tests if adding breathing exercises to physical therapy helps people who had a stroke 3 to 6 months ago. It focuses on walking and lung strength to improve recovery.
