Balance Training for Better Walking After Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether special balance exercises (vestibular training) can help people who have had a stroke walk more safely and reduce their risk of falling in the community. It may be a good fit if you had a first stroke at least 6 months ago and can walk short distances.
