Dual-task walking therapy for recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special exercise program that combines walking with other tasks to help people recover walking ability after a stroke. It is for people who are still in the early months of recovery and can already walk a bit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether combining walking on a curved path with doing simple thinking tasks can improve recovery after a stroke. It is for people who can walk at least 10 meters and have some arm and leg movement.
This study tests whether doing balance exercises while performing mental tasks together can help stroke survivors improve their stability and walking ability. Many stroke patients struggle with balance, and this training aims to help them regain confidence and reduce fall risk.
This study tests whether combining dual-task training (walking while doing a thinking task) with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve how stroke survivors move and think. It may help you walk safely while also paying attention to other tasks.
This study tests two different ways to help people recover balance and walking ability after stroke. You'll do either sensorimotor training (exercises focused on body awareness and coordination) or dual-task training (exercises that combine physical movements with mental tasks), and researchers will measure which approach works better.
This study tests whether doing two tasks at once (like walking while talking or counting) can help people with mild Alzheimer's disease improve their thinking and memory. You would take part in training sessions that combine physical movement with mental exercises.
This study tests whether combining mindfulness meditation with balance and walking exercises can help improve memory and thinking skills in people who had a stroke. The trial focuses on people with mild cognitive impairment—difficulty thinking clearly—after stroke recovery.
