Split-Belt Treadmill Training After Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special treadmill with two independent belts moving at different speeds to help people recovering from stroke relearn how to walk. It may improve walking balance and strength on the weaker side of the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Had a stroke on one side of the brain causing weakness on one side of the body
- Less than 9 months since your stroke
- Can walk at least 10 meters with or without a cane, walker, or other aid
- Can stand without holding onto anything for at least 5 minutes
- Speak English well enough to understand study instructions

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 uses robotic equipment and computer modeling to create a personalized rehabilitation program. Researchers are looking for healthy adults and adults who have had a stroke more than 6 months ago to see if these tools can improve walking.
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.
