A home walking trainer for stroke survivors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new, affordable device that helps stroke survivors practice walking at home. It may improve your ability to walk if you have leg weakness after a stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your first stroke (either from a clot or bleeding in the brain) between 3 months and 5 years ago.
- You have trouble walking because your leg is weak or not working well after the stroke.
- You can stand for at least 30 minutes with little or no help (you may use a cane or walker).
- Your doctor has said it's safe for you to do moderate walking exercise.
- You live in a home with enough space and safe flooring for the device to be installed.
- You can understand simple instructions and give consent (or have a family member or legal representative who can).
- If you need help setting up or using the device, a caregiver or assistant must be available to learn how to help.

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.
This trial tests if high-intensity treadmill training can improve walking speed for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It focuses on those who still walk slowly and may use a walker or cane.
This trial tests whether using a wearable robotic device at home can improve walking ability in people who have had a stroke. If you have trouble walking due to a stroke, this study may help you regain strength and mobility.
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.
This study tests a home-based walking program for people who have recently had a stroke. It combines behavioral coaching with guided stepping exercises to help improve mobility and confidence when walking after returning home from the hospital.
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.
