Improving walking symmetry after stroke with special devices
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses special devices and feedback to help people who have had a stroke walk more evenly (symmetrically). It tests if these tools can improve walking patterns and balance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 years old or older
- You have had a stroke at least 1 month ago
- You can walk 10 meters (about 30 feet) with or without a cane or walker
- You do not have other major health problems that affect walking, like heart failure or severe diabetes

This study tests a special treadmill with two independent belts moving at different speeds to help people recovering from stroke relearn how to walk. It may improve walking balance and strength on the weaker side of the body.
This study tests different amounts of walking on a special treadmill that moves each leg at a different speed. It may help people recovering from a first stroke to improve their walking.
This trial studies a more intensive, early walking exercise program after a stroke. It may help improve walking speed, balance, and the ability to move safely with less support.
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 uses robotic equipment and computer modeling to create a personalized rehabilitation program. Researchers are looking for healthy adults and adults who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago to see if these tools can improve walking.
This study aims to develop a walking exercise program for people who have had a stroke and cannot walk on their own. It will test a treadmill-based program to help improve walking ability.
