Arm support may change how stroke survivors walk

NCT ID NCT07496853

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how using arm support (like a cane or parallel bars) changes walking patterns in people who have had a stroke. Thirty-four participants will walk on a special treadmill under three conditions: no support, one-arm support, and two-arm support. The goal is to see how arm support affects speed, step length, and rhythm, which could help therapists create better rehab plans.
