Balance exercises after a brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a balance-focused rehabilitation program for people who have had a brain injury. If you can walk and are reasonably stable, this program aims to help improve your balance and everyday function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult aged 18 to 65.
- You must have an acquired brain injury (such as from a stroke, head injury, lack of oxygen, tumor, or infection).
- It must be at least 2 months since your injury.
- You need to be able to walk on your own or with a cane or walker.
- Your memory and thinking should be fairly good (scoring above 24 on a standard test).
- You must be medically stable enough to join a rehabilitation program.

This study tests a new balance training program called NEUROBALANCE to help improve postural control in people who have had a traumatic brain injury. It uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (TMS) to see if it can help improve balance and walking.
This trial compares two types of balance exercises to see which one better improves balance, posture, and reduces the risk of falling in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago.
This study tests whether training on a robotic device can help improve balance and posture for people who had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) within the last 6 months to 5 years. It may help if you have some balance issues and can stand without support for 5 minutes.
This study tests different levels of balance training in people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago. It aims to find the best exercise intensity to improve balance and prevent falls.
This study tests a special balance and walking training program for people who have had a stroke. It aims to help improve balance while walking, which may help you move more safely and independently.
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.
