Effect of ankle tightness on balance after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing how ankle tightness (spasticity) affects balance and walking ability in people who had a stroke. The goal is to understand how different levels of ankle stiffness impact recovery and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your stroke happened more than 6 months ago.
- You can stand up by yourself without help.
- Your age is between 45 and 60 years old.

This study tests if a hands-on ankle treatment can improve your sense of where your ankle is in space (proprioception) after a stroke. It looks at how well you can feel and control your ankle movement.
This study tests whether gentle leg exercises can help people recovering from a recent stroke. The focus is on improving ankle movement and strength on the weak side.
This trial tests a robot-assisted training program for the foot and ankle in people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago. The goal is to improve movement and walking by using special exercises guided by a robotic device.
This study tests a type of electrical stimulation, called Russian current, on the front shin muscles to see if it helps stroke patients stand steadier and lower their risk of falling.
This study uses special motion-tracking tools to measure balance and trunk control in people with first-time stroke, Parkinson’s, or multiple sclerosis. It aims to understand how these conditions affect stability, which could help tailor rehabilitation.
This study compares different doses of shockwave treatment to reduce ankle muscle tightness (spasticity) after stroke. If you have persistent ankle stiffness and can safely receive the treatment, your results may help find the best dose for symptom relief.
