Walking ability and fall risk tests after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests how well people who have had a stroke can walk in their community, how likely they are to fall, and how their eyes work while moving. By participating, you'll help researchers improve ways to assess these abilities, which could lead to better rehabilitation plans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had only one stroke.
- It has been at least 6 months since your stroke.
- You can walk about 400 meters (a quarter mile) on your own, with or without a cane or walker.
- You score at least 24 on a memory and thinking test (Mini-Mental State Exam).
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.

This study tests a balance training program to help people who had a stroke walk safely in their community and reduce falls. It may improve your confidence and safety when walking outside.
This study looks at how well people recover their walking ability after a first stroke. It may help improve rehabilitation programs for stroke survivors.
This study looks at how fear of falling affects recovery after a stroke. It will help doctors understand the connection between balance, movement, and fear to improve rehab.
This study tracks how walking and balance improve in the first weeks after a stroke. It uses simple tests to measure your recovery over time, with no experimental treatments.
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.
