Walking and thinking training after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining walking on a curved path with doing simple thinking tasks can improve recovery after a stroke. It is for people who can walk at least 10 meters and have some arm and leg movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke that affected only one side of the body for the first time.
- You are between 40 and 80 years old.
- You can walk at least 10 meters, with or without a cane or walker.
- You can follow simple instructions and do basic math (like counting).
- Your stroke recovery is at least at stage 3 on a common scale (meaning some movement has returned).

This study tests a special exercise program that combines walking with other tasks to help people recover walking ability after a stroke. It is for people who are still in the early months of recovery and can already walk a bit.
This trial tests whether walking while wearing smartglasses that show simple mental tasks can help stroke survivors improve their step and thinking coordination. It's for people who can walk on their own and have weakness on one side from a stroke.
This study tests whether combining dual-task training (walking while doing a thinking task) with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve how stroke survivors move and think. It may help you walk safely while also paying attention to other tasks.
This study tests whether combining mindfulness meditation with balance and walking exercises can help improve memory and thinking skills in people who had a stroke. The trial focuses on people with mild cognitive impairment—difficulty thinking clearly—after stroke recovery.
This trial tests whether adding a rhythmic beat (like a metronome or music) to walking while doing thinking tasks can improve walking after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can already walk a short distance.
This study examines how your brain works when you walk and think at the same time after stroke. Researchers will use brain imaging to understand this process, which could help develop better rehabilitation strategies.
