Exercise and Music for Stroke Recovery Balance and Walking
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining corrective exercises with rhythmic music (auditory cues) helps people recover better balance, walking ability, and quality of life after a stroke. The goal is to see if music-guided movement improves recovery more than exercise alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 60 years old
- You had a first-time stroke (ischemic type) causing weakness on one side of your body and walking difficulty
- Your balance score is below 23 on a standard test (indicating significant balance problems)
- You do not have moderate-to-severe memory or thinking problems
- You have no other neurological conditions, significant hearing or vision loss, or chronic pain affecting walking
- You are willing to attend training sessions at least 3 times and commit to the program

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of movement practice for people recovering from a recent stroke. One group will do everyday tasks like walking and reaching, and the other will do the same movements but with a rhythmic beat to help with timing and coordination.
This study compares two types of walking and balance exercises for people who had a stroke 6 to 12 months ago. It aims to see which type of practice helps improve balance and walking best.
This study tests whether adding electrical muscle stimulation to a walking and movement program helps stroke survivors walk better, become more independent, and improve their quality of life.
This trial tests whether adding a rhythmic beat (like a metronome or music) to walking while doing thinking tasks can improve walking after a stroke. It is for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and can already walk a short distance.
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.
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.
