Sit to stand study for chronic stroke survivors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a specific exercise to help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve their ability to stand up from a chair. It may help you if you have some trouble but can still do the movement with minimal or no help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study tests a home-based exercise program if you had a stroke more than 6 months ago but less than 10 years ago. You'll do it on your own, and the program may help you move better and stay stronger.
This trial tests a strategy training program to help people with memory and thinking problems after a stroke become more physically active. If you've had a stroke in the last three years and have some trouble with focus or planning, this program may help you build skills to move more and feel better.
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 early-stage study tests a multisensory therapy to help people with ongoing balance problems stand more safely after a stroke. It may help your balance by giving targeted feedback to the foot and ankle while you practice standing.
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.
