Can a quick workout help stroke survivors learn to walk better?

NCT ID NCT03726047

First seen May 23, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago learn a new walking pattern using distorted visual feedback. Researchers want to see if a short 5-minute exercise session helps them remember the new walking pattern a day later. 80 participants will be split into a control group or an exercise group to compare results.
