Posture training after stroke with light electric stimulation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a device that uses small electric pulses on the legs can help people who had a stroke more than a year ago improve their balance and walking. It is a pilot study to see if the method works well enough for a larger future study.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You live at home or in the community (not in a nursing home or long-term care)
- You can stand on your own for at least 1 minute without help

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new way to help people with stroke move their legs better by combining electrical stimulation on the back and leg. If you have had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can already walk with or without a cane, this treatment might help strengthen ankle muscles and make walking easier.
This trial studies whether a non-surgical electrical treatment to the spinal area can improve walking and leg control after a stroke. It’s for people who have had a single stroke and still need hands-on support to walk.
This study tests a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation applied to the lower back to see if it helps people who have trouble walking or moving their leg after a stroke. The goal is to improve balance and mobility.
This study tests if adding a gentle brain stimulation (TMS) to robot-assisted balance training helps improve balance after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and still have trouble with balance.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation method (“cortical priming”) can improve walking after a stroke. It may help people with ongoing walking problems improve gait and leg control over a rehabilitation program.
This trial tests if an electrical stimulator controlled by muscle signals can help improve arm function after a stroke. It may benefit people who have some movement but not full control in one arm.
