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 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.
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 trial studies whether backward walking training can improve balance and walking speed after a stroke. It may help people who still have trouble staying steady or walking quickly during recovery.
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.
