MINT video game training to improve walking after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new video-game–style training called MINT to help people who have had a stroke walk better. If you have trouble walking because one leg is weaker or slower than the other, this training might help improve your balance and coordination.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 85 years old.
- You had a stroke at least 6 months ago that affected one side of your body, especially your leg.
- You can walk but your speed is less than half of normal (max 0.8 meters per second).
- You can stand without help from someone or a walker.
- You must not have had Botox or other muscle-spasm treatments in your affected leg in the last 3 months.
- You should not have had more than one fall in the past year or use a walker for balance.

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 study uses a special brain-scanning technique to guide video feedback training for people who have had a stroke, aiming to improve walking ability. It is for those who can move their legs a little and understand instructions.
This study tests a special walking feedback system (like a video game for your legs) for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It aims to improve walking quality, such as how smoothly and evenly you step.
This study tests whether a combination of weight-supported walking equipment and virtual reality games can help stroke patients improve their walking ability and muscle control. The training aims to make walking safer and easier during recovery.
This trial tests whether an EMG-controlled computer game can help retrain how your arm muscles activate after stroke. It may help improve upper-limb movement by practicing with real-time muscle feedback.
This study tests whether exercise plus motor learning training can improve walking and movement after a stroke that happened more than 6 months ago. You may be a good candidate if you can walk on your own and your stroke-related brain injury is not mainly in the cerebellum.
