This study tests how well people who have had a stroke can walk in their community, how likely they are to fall, and how their eyes work while moving. By participating, you'll help researchers improve ways to assess these abilities, which could lead to better rehabilitation plans.
This study uses a simple, painless brain wave test (EEG) soon after an ischemic stroke to help predict how well you may recover and to guide your care. It may help doctors better understand your individual risk and plan your treatment.
This trial tests whether a simple exercise program done in bed is safe and practical for people in the first few months after a stroke. It may help you start gentle lower-leg movement without needing to get fully out of bed right away.
This study tests a rehabilitation approach to help people recover arm movement after an ischemic or bleeding stroke. You may be able to join if you’re currently an inpatient in the stroke neurology unit and have arm weakness but are medically stable and able to follow simple instructions.
This study looks at how walking backwards relates to leg function and other factors in people who have had a stroke. If you can walk a short distance without help and meet the other criteria, this may help you understand and improve your walking.
This study looks at how stroke affects your spine, posture, balance, walking, and energy use. Researchers want to help design better rehab programs for recovery.
