Walking retraining for stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a treadmill walking program that uses split belts to help improve your walking after a stroke. If you had a stroke less than 9 months ago, this may help you walk better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke that affects one side of your body (hemiparesis).
- Your stroke happened less than 9 months ago.
- You can walk 10 meters, with or without a walker or cane.
- You can stand without support for 5 minutes.
- You speak English.
- You do not have other health problems (like heart or lung disease) that would make walking difficult, or other conditions that limit mobility (like severe arthritis), or serious memory or thinking problems, or take medication for depression or anxiety.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests different amounts of walking on a special treadmill that moves each leg at a different speed. It may help people recovering from a first stroke to improve their walking.
This study uses special devices and feedback to help people who have had a stroke walk more evenly (symmetrically). It tests if these tools can improve walking patterns and balance.
This trial studies a more intensive, early walking exercise program after a stroke. It may help improve walking speed, balance, and the ability to move safely with less support.
This trial tests if high-intensity treadmill training can improve walking speed for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It focuses on those who still walk slowly and may use a walker or cane.
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.
This trial studies whether backward walking training can improve balance and walking speed after a stroke. It may help people who still have trouble staying steady or walking quickly during recovery.
