Water therapy and exercise after a first stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing exercises in a pool plus aerobic exercise on land helps people recover movement and function after their first stroke. It may help improve strength, balance, and daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a first-ever stroke (not a repeat one).
- You are between 45 and 74 years old.
- You can walk on your own or with a cane or walker.
- Your arm and leg muscles have good strength (rated 4 or 5 out of 5).
- Your heart health is stable enough for exercise.
- You do not have conditions like open wounds or skin infections that would prevent pool therapy.

This study looks at surface muscle electrical signals (from electrodes on the skin) to understand and predict how well your balance and walking may improve after a first stroke. You might benefit by learning more about your recovery and by helping researchers find better ways to track progress.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help prevent thinking and memory problems after a first stroke. It might help you keep your brain healthy if you join within the first six months after your stroke.
This study looks at how well people recover their walking ability after a first stroke. It may help improve rehabilitation programs for stroke survivors.
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 study tests a structured, step-by-step rehabilitation program for people who have had an ischemic stroke (a stroke from a blocked blood vessel). The program is designed to help you recover function and is delivered in a hospital setting.
This study tests whether a home-based exercise program, guided by a coach over video calls, can help improve brain function and connectivity in people who have had a small stroke. The program is designed for people aged 60 and older with a history of lacunar stroke who are not very active but otherwise have minimal disability.
