Ankle joint motion and body awareness after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if a hands-on ankle treatment can improve your sense of where your ankle is in space (proprioception) after a stroke. It looks at how well you can feel and control your ankle movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a robot-assisted training program for the foot and ankle in people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The goal is to improve movement and walking by using special exercises guided by a robotic device.
This study tests a gentle hands-on treatment for your lower back that may help improve your balance and walking after a stroke. It is for people who can already walk a short distance on their own.
This study tests whether gentle leg exercises can help people recovering from a recent stroke. The focus is on improving ankle movement and strength on the weak side.
This study looks at how stiffness in the calf muscles (plantar flexor spasticity) affects balance and everyday function in people who had a stroke. It aims to see if the level of stiffness changes their recovery outcomes.
This trial tests a device called SURA that stimulates feeling in the ankle after a stroke. It may help people who have foot drop or trouble lifting their foot while walking.
This early-stage study tests a multisensory therapy to help people with ongoing balance problems stand more safely after a stroke. It may help your balance by giving targeted feedback to the foot and ankle while you practice standing.
