Specialized leg training to improve balance and walking after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a specific type of hands-on leg training (called PNF) can help stroke survivors walk better, stay balanced, and do daily activities more independently. You'll work with a therapist who uses guided movements to retrain your leg muscles and nerves.

This study compares two different exercise-based therapies to see which one helps stroke survivors improve balance and walking better. It is for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk a short distance with or without help.
This trial tests whether combining pelvic PNF (a therapy that uses specific patterns to improve movement) with trunk training can help people with chronic stroke walk better and improve balance.
This study tests whether special exercises focused on stabilizing your pelvis (hip area) can help improve leg strength and movement after a stroke. The training is designed for people in the early recovery phase who are learning to stand and walk again.
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.
This study uses a special brain-scanning technique to guide video feedback training for people who have had a stroke, aiming to improve walking ability. It is for those who can move their legs a little and understand instructions.
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.
