Stiff-knee walking after stroke compared with healthy walking
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study measures how thigh muscles and knee movements differ when people who had a stroke walk, compared with people without a stroke. It may help design better treatments for stiff-knee walking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke that weakened one side of your body.
- You are over 18 years old.
- Your stroke happened at least 6 months ago.
- You can walk on your own without a cane or walker.
- Your knee does not bend enough when you swing your leg forward while walking.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study checks if new guidelines for placing sensors on leg muscles work well in people who have had a stroke. It could help improve how we measure muscle activity during walking and other movements.
This study looks at how stiffness in the calf muscles (plantar flexor spasticity) affects balance and everyday function in people who had a stroke. It aims to see if the level of stiffness changes their recovery outcomes.
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 compares two types of walking exercises to see which one helps people with chronic stroke improve their walking ability. You would join a training program that focuses on either everyday tasks or high-intensity walking practice.
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.
