Balance and walking exercises for chronic stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 70 years old.
- Your stroke happened at least 6 months ago, but no more than 1 year ago.
- You have trouble with balance and have fallen at least once in the last 6 months.
- You can still walk (with or without a cane or walker).
- You do not have other serious health conditions (like heart problems, severe high blood pressure, or conditions that make exercise unsafe).
- This is your first stroke and you are not in another training study.

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.
This study tests whether doing balance exercises while performing mental tasks together can help stroke survivors improve their stability and walking ability. Many stroke patients struggle with balance, and this training aims to help them regain confidence and reduce fall risk.
