Robot vs. visual feedback balance training after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of therapy—robot-assisted walking training and balance training using visual feedback—to see which helps improve walking and balance after a stroke. You may join if you had an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, can walk with some help, and have no major communication or vision problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 21 and 85 years old
- You have had a stroke (either clot-related or bleeding) confirmed by a doctor
- You are able to walk at least with some help (e.g., a cane or a person's assistance) and rated at level 3 or higher on a walking scale
- Your leg muscles are not too stiff (a low score on a spasticity scale)
- You can follow simple spoken instructions and score at least 23 out of 30 on a memory and thinking test

This study tests if using virtual reality headset games can help improve your balance, walking, daily activities, and quality of life after a recent stroke. If you join, you will do special balance and walking exercises with virtual reality.
This study tests whether a robot-assisted walking training program can help people who recently had a stroke improve their walking ability. It is for people in the early recovery phase (1 to 3 months after stroke) who already have moderate balance.
This study tests if adding a gentle brain stimulation (TMS) to robot-assisted balance training helps improve balance after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and still have trouble with balance.
This study tests two types of robot-assisted walking training to see which one helps people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve their walking. It aims to find the best way to regain mobility and independence.
This study uses a special brain-scanning technique to guide video feedback training for people who have had a stroke, aiming to improve walking ability. It is for those who can move their legs a little and understand instructions.
This trial compares robot-assisted training to standard training to help people with stroke improve their walking and movement. It is for people who are at least 6 months past their stroke and still have moderate to severe disability.
