Treadmill walking with hidden vision for stroke rehab
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if walking on a treadmill with a screen that hides vision can help people recovering from a stroke improve their balance and mobility. It is for people who had a stroke less than 6 months ago and can already walk a little with support.
