Walking ability, fall risk, and vision 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 vision works when turning their head. The goal is to find better ways to check recovery.
