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 a special balance training system that uses visual feedback to help stroke survivors improve their walking and reduce fall risk. It may be a good fit if you've had a stroke on one side and still have some trouble with balance or walking.
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 trial compares two types of robot-assisted walking training to help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago improve their walking. It uses a robot to guide leg movements, either focusing on the pelvis or not, to see which works better.
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 trial tests a robot that helps you walk and lets you watch yourself on video to improve your recovery. It is for people who had a stroke 6 to 12 months ago and can already walk a short distance.
