Balance and Sensory Training After Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of physical therapy to help stroke patients improve balance, sensation in their legs, and confidence walking. The goal is to see which approach works better for people recovering from stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 65 years old
- You had a stroke confirmed by a doctor
- You have numbness, tingling, or reduced feeling in your lower legs or feet from the stroke
- Walking problems are only from your stroke, not from other conditions
- Your balance score is below 45 on the Berg Balance Scale (a simple balance test)
- Your feet and skin are healthy with no wounds, infections, or sores; you don't take heart medications like nitroglycerin, dopamine, or dobutamine

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 early-stage study tests a multisensory therapy to help people with ongoing balance problems stand more safely after a stroke. It may help your balance by giving targeted feedback to the foot and ankle while you practice standing.
This study tests two different ways to help people recover balance and walking ability after stroke. You'll do either sensorimotor training (exercises focused on body awareness and coordination) or dual-task training (exercises that combine physical movements with mental tasks), and researchers will measure which approach works better.
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 tests whether vibrations applied to the bottom of your feet can help improve walking and balance after stroke. You'll receive plantar vibration therapy (gentle vibrations under your feet) while performing walking and balance exercises to see if it helps your recovery.
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.
