Walking practice at home after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a home-based walking program for people who have recently had a stroke. It combines behavioral coaching with guided stepping exercises to help improve mobility and confidence when walking after returning home from the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years of age or older.
- You had a stroke (either ischemic or hemorrhagic) within the last 3 months.
- You have recently come or are about to come home from the hospital.

This study looks at how therapy and movement training may help people regain walking and compensate after their first stroke. You may be eligible if you are in the early weeks after stroke and are currently in inpatient rehabilitation, with medical clearance to safely participate in exercise.
This trial tests a home-based exercise program (via video or app) to help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have some physical weakness. It aims to improve strength and movement without needing to travel to a clinic.
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 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 follows how walking ability improves in people recovering from a recent stroke during their stay in a rehabilitation center. The goal is to better understand recovery patterns so therapy can be tailored.
This study tests whether a remote (at-home) program that tracks your daily steps and includes support from someone you know can help you become more physically active after a stroke. Researchers want to see if this approach is practical and if it helps people who had a stroke 6+ months ago move more.
