Walking coordination after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how a stroke affects the way your arms and legs work together when you walk. It may help find better ways to improve walking function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke that affected one side of your body.
- It has been more than 6 months since your stroke.
- You can walk for at least 6 minutes at your own comfortable pace.
- You are between 25 and 90 years old.
- You do not have any other neurological conditions or recent Botox in your legs.
- You do not have metal implants, a pacemaker, or a history of seizures (for the brain stimulation part).

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 trial tests whether a targeted, noninvasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve arm weakness and movement after stroke. It may help people who have significant trouble moving one arm on the side affected by stroke.
This study tests whether a mild electrical brain stimulation can help people with chronic stroke improve their stepping and walking. If you have had a stroke at least 6 months ago, can walk with or without a device, and have some leg weakness, this study may be for you.
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 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.
