Brain Activity and Walking After Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study examines how your brain works when you walk and think at the same time after stroke. Researchers will use brain imaging to understand this process, which could help develop better rehabilitation strategies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how the brain works while walking in people who have had a stroke. It may help researchers understand walking problems better.
This study looks at how the brain changes after a stroke when people walk on different surfaces. It may help understand why walking can be harder and how therapy could improve it.
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 study compares how people walk on different surfaces and with body weight support. It aims to understand walking differences between healthy individuals and stroke survivors, which could help design better rehab programs.
This study tracks how balance and walking change over time after a first stroke, using simple tests and wearable sensors. It may help find better ways to help you recover your ability to walk safely.
This study tests whether combining mindfulness meditation with balance and walking exercises can help improve memory and thinking skills in people who had a stroke. The trial focuses on people with mild cognitive impairment—difficulty thinking clearly—after stroke recovery.
